The Demons donned their blue kit again on Saturday, outclassing their opposition in nearly every aspect of play.
"We know that Narrandera are not having the best season so we aren't running around thinking we're geniuses," coach Arch Cullen explained.
"We wanted to put a hurting on them and we did that, we wanted to get everyone a run and we did that, so we're looking pretty good."
The side is now hoping to continue their winning ways and earn themselves a home final.
However, that may prove difficult, as West Wyalong will be standing firmly in their way. The competition heavyweights lost by the slimmest of margins against Griffith last weekend, a nail-biting 84 to 76 upset.
"There's no reason we couldn't repeat what we did at home over there, but they've got a good side and we're going to have to play well to beat them again," Cullen said.
Round four of the MIA Basketball League will be played out on October 26, with West Wyalong taking on Narrandera and Griffith playing against Leeton.
The Demons-Eagles game will be a rematch of round one, serving as a chance for both sides to review how they have performed over the past few weeks.
Griffith bested Leeton 89 to 64 in the season opener, largely thanks to Demons' youngster Isaac Testoni finding an abundance of points from range.
The teenager scored 34 points in that match, which is more than any other player has contributed during this season of MIA Basketball action.
Narrandera will have to be strong against West Wyalong if they want to find a result, their shaky start has landed them at the bottom of the table.
Demons' coach Arch Cullen praised their team spirit during the match-up on the weekend.
"Kudos to Narrandera because they never gave up.
"When you have a 40-point blow out it can be pretty tough, but they played in good spirit," he said.
