Why this matters

Nonleague December games are often where rotations get settled and new faces earn minutes. With both programs active on SBLive (each currently showing 54 fans), this matchup is a chance for coaches to evaluate depth and for players to make midseason statements. There is no last-meeting data listed on the game page, so this could be the first time these squads face off this season.
