Why this one matters

Benet Academy comes in with momentum from their last meeting: the Redwings beat Saint Viator 57-37 on Jan. 31, 2025 (box score and recap at the SBLive game link above). Both teams will be looking to sharpen up late in the season — Benet has a larger follower base on SBLive (13 fans to Saint Viator’s 3), so home-court energy and fan support will be something to watch in Arlington Heights.
