Overview

The South Pasadena Tigers travel to Village Christian on Saturday night for a nonleague clash. Tip is set for 6 p.m. PT at Village Christian.

What to watch

No recent meeting data is available, so this should be treated as a fresh matchup with few preconceived narratives. Expect coaches to use this nonleague game to test rotations and lineups.

Keep an eye on tempo and bench depth — nonleague nights often determine who steps up when conference play arrives.
