Why this one matters

The teams meet fresh off a razor-thin Dec. 9 result, when Emerald edged Pittsburg 48-47 in their last meeting (box score and recap: https://scorebooklive.com/california/basketball/games/5737893-pittsburg-vs-emerald). Expect a physical, low-scoring battle — the last game was decided by a single point, and both programs will be looking for edge in league play.
