What to watch

Half Moon Bay and Mills meet for a quick turnaround after a Jan. 7 matchup in Half Moon Bay that ended with the Cougars beating the Vikings 53-31. That result (see the box score from the last meeting: https://scorebooklive.com/california/girls-basketball/games/5603634-mills-vs-half-moon-bay) gives Half Moon Bay a clear momentum edge heading into this rematch in Millbrae.

Keys will be whether Mills can tighten its defense to slow the Cougars’ offense and whether Half Moon Bay can avoid a letdown on the road. Both teams are young programs drawing local attention — Half Moon Bay currently shows 2 fans on SBLive and Mills has 1 fan — so a big home crowd could swing momentum in a close contest.
