Why this one matters

Early-season nonleague games like this are valuable tune-ups: coaches will experiment with lineups and underclassmen will get a chance to push for bigger roles. With no prior meeting listed, expect both teams to emphasize fundamentals and defense as they sort through personnel. The short winter-season slate means every game is a chance to build momentum heading into league play.
