The X-Factor: Brother Rice is one of only two teams to beat Fenwick this season. However, the Friars won the most recent and most important meeting in the MCAC Tournament and are also coming off a close win over state title contender Oak Park. Can the Crusaders regain their early season form to top the Friars again, or will Fenwick be able to repeat their conference title winning performance from two weeks ago?
