Match-up: Mountain View vs. Homestead in boys basketball.

When: 7 p.m., Tuesday.

Where: Homestead, 21370 Homestead Road, Cupertino.

Situation: Mountain View (4-1, 13-6) is battling Gunn and Fremont for the SCVAL El Camino Division title, while Homestead (1-4, 4-14) is fighting to stay out of the cellar.

What to Watch For: If Homestead hopes to pull off the upset, it will need to contain Mountain View's dynamic duo of Seth Greenstein and Nic Lustig. Greenstein, the division's reigning MVP, and Lustig are both averaging double-digit points this season. But the Spartans will probably have an easier time shutting down the Mustangs, a team that's had trouble producing points this year.

Recent History: Mountain View beat visiting Homestead 36-29 Jan. 7 in the division opener for both teams.

The Spartans led 28-27 after three quarters, then went on an 8-2 run in the final period.
