Notes and flavor

There’s no meeting history listed for these teams in the game file, so this could be a fresh matchup or a reboot of a seldom-played series. This non-league tilt gives both programs a chance to tune up late in the season — and it’s a good chance for players to make a statement before conference play and postseason seeding tighten up.
