The boys basketball Metro Top 10 turned in an uneventful week.
Boys basketball Metro Top 10 proceeds without disruption
Two of the Twin Cities' top teams, No. 1 Park Center and No. 4 Totino-Grace, will clash Tuesday.
Only three matchups pitted ranked teams against each other last week, and the higher-ranked squad won each time by double figures.
Unbeatens teams Park Center (6-0) and Wayzata (5-0) hold down the top two spots. The No. 1 Pirates used a balanced attack to take care of No. 5 Benilde-St. Margaret's 77-60 on Saturday.
No. 3 Lakeville North (2-2) and No. 4 Totino-Grace (3-2) each lost once last week, to Wisconsin schools.
This week's marquee matchup

The first of their two matchups for supremacy in the Northwest Suburban Conference. The Pirates won both games last season. Totino-Grace has already been in two close games, falling 83-81 to Wayzata and beating Hopkins 79-75, and this could be another.
