What to watch

The teams last met Nov. 19, 2024, with Independence rolling to a 68-33 victory in Charleston. That lopsided result gives the Wildcats a recent edge in the series, but early-season nonleague games can flip momentum quickly. Both rosters are still settling in; expect coaches to use this matchup to tune rotations and evaluate depth.
