Of course, it's too soon to call tonight's game a must win.
However, starting the year 0-2 in a 10-game league season does add a little more pressure.
Defending Gabilan Division champion Alisal had not been out of first place in league play in three years before falling in its league opener to Carmel.
It hadn't lost a league home game in three years. Hosting Salinas tonight means five of its final eight league games will be on the road.
So there has to be more of a sense of urgency for the Trojans, who split a pair of games with Salinas last year.
Alisal needs a big game in the paint from 6-foot-9 Sebastian Reynoso and on the outside from guard Josue-Gil Silva.
The Cowboys objective is to trim the 31 turnovers in a league opening setback to Monterey, snapping their six game winning streak.
A.J. Saldana leads a scoring by committee approach that includes JoJo Paris, Derek Diaz and Ryan McKinley.
