Why this one matters

The last time these teams met, Dec. 4, 2025, Union Star edged DeKalb 45-42 in a tight contest (box: https://scorebooklive.com/missouri/basketball/games/6151326-dekalb-vs-union-star). That three-point margin suggests this Friday’s meeting could hinge on late possessions and defensive stops — expect a close, physical game at the Trojans’ gym.
