This game has the promises to be a nail biter; the Crossover's have won their first two games of the season with no problems. The games were against the Lewis County Raptor's.
In game one the Raptor's knew they were in trouble when the Crossover's racked up a whopping 92 points in the first half; the Crossover beat the Raptors 170-146.
The next day the Raptors were seeking revenge on the Crossover's, but their vision of victory was blinded when the Crossover took the game 137-124.

Like the Express, the Crossover's are in their second season in the IBL.
