Why this one matters
Simmons will get Riverside at home in what should be a physical league matchup. The teams last met at Simmons on Dec. 13, 2024, when the Blue Devils rolled to a 62-31 victory (linescore: Simmons 16-15-16-15, Riverside 11-9-1-10). Riverside struggled in the third quarter that night, scoring just one point; expect adjustments and extra urgency from the Bulldogs looking for a different result.
