What to watch
This nonleague matchup has a bit of recent history: the teams met on Dec. 6, 2024, when J.Z. George edged Winona 46-43. In that meeting SBLive’s pregame projection favored Winona (about 64.5% to 35.5%), but J.Z. George pulled off the upset — a reminder that projections don’t decide outcomes on the floor. Expect both teams to look for statement moments early as they tune up for the rest of the season.
