Why this one matters

The Pioneers get Tolono Unity at home in a nonleague tuneup that could have postseason implications for both programs. The teams last met on Jan. 7, 2025, when Normal University upset Tolono Unity 56-45 — despite SBLive projections that heavily favored Tolono Unity entering that game (roughly a 75% win chance). Expect both teams to adjust and bring energy after that meeting.
