Plano<\/a> has gone 8-2 against McKinney<\/a> recently and they’ll look to pad the win column further on Tuesday. The Wildcats will host the Lions at 5:30 p.m. Given that the two teams suffered a loss in their last games, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this matchup.<\/p>\n

Plano might be feeling deja-vu: they lost 50-43 to Rock Hill, which was the same score (and result) they got the week prior. The Wildcats have now taken an ‘L’ in back-to-back games.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, McKinney came up short against Rock Hill on Friday and fell 55-44. While losing is never fun, the Lions can’t take it too hard given the team’s big disadvantage in MaxPreps’ Texas basketball rankings (they are ranked 423rd, while the Blue Hawks are ranked 202nd).<\/p>\n

Plano’s loss dropped their record down to 11-10. As for McKinney, their defeat dropped their record down to 7-14.<\/p>\n

Plano beat McKinney 45-38 in their previous meeting back in December of 2025. Will the Wildcats repeat their success, or do the Lions have a new game plan this time around? We’ll find out soon enough.<\/p>\n
