Whitney will look to build off the last meeting, a 45-36 win over the Troubadours in February 2024. St. Francis gets the benefit of home court and the local crowd — every follow on SBLive helps grow that edge. This is an early league test for both programs; expect physical defense and an emphasis on taking care of the basketball.
