Why this one matters

These two programs haven’t met often in recent years, but their last meeting was a classic: Columbus edged Sierra Canyon 47-46 on Jan. 16, 2023 (final boxscore and quarter lines at https://scorebooklive.com/california/basketball/games/2638024-sierra-canyon-vs-columbus). That one-point game suggests this rematch could come down to execution in the fourth quarter — perfect late-December tournament intrigue.
