Stamford (5-6) was roughed up in Tuesday's 86-65 loss to Westhill and has another tough test against the Hatters (8-3), who snapped a three-game losing streak with a 68-56 victory over Darien on Tuesday.
Westhill, looking more and more like a playoff team with Chris Walters in the lineup, is coming off its best effort of the season against the Black Knights. Walters led the way with 26 points for the Vikings, who improved to 7-4.
However, Westhill visits the league's most surprising team in Greenwich. The Cardinals dropped to 9-3 following Tuesday's 61-45 loss at Bridgeport Central, but they are 6-0 at home.

In girls action, Trinity Catholic visits McMahon (5:30 p.m.), Stamford is at undefeated Danbury (5:45 p.m.) and Westhill entertains Greenwich (5:45 p.m.).
