Sal-Mon boys hoops

 Both teams are trying to end three-game losing skids and jump-start their seasons towards a playoff spot.
 Salinas won the first meeting between the two teams 60-44. While Monterey has shown a little more balance in its offense, it still revolves around Chris Russo.
 The Toreadores are 3-6 in games decided by six points or less. Salinas has been outscored in three of the four quarters this year.
