What to watch

This should be a close, physical non-league test for both programs in the heart of February. The last time these teams met — on Feb. 14, 2025 — Paris edged Mt. Carmel 45-44, a one-point game that could set the tone for another tight contest. With home-court advantage in Mount Carmel, the Golden Aces will look to flip the script, while the Tigers will try to hold serve on the road.
