Why this one matters

The two programs haven’t met on the hardwood since Dec. 16, 2019, when Rio Linda picked up a 57-51 win at El Camino. That result is the most recent meeting on record between the teams and gives the Knights a recent edge in this series. Both squads are looking to build momentum in league play; each side will rely on fundamentals and execution in what promises to be a physical, guard-driven contest.
