Why this one matters

These teams played earlier this month in a classic one-point game — Columbia edged Wharton 58-57 on Jan. 6 (game details: https://scorebooklive.com/texas/basketball/games/5959256-wharton-vs-columbia). Expect both coaches to be dialing up adjustments after that finish. With so little separating them in the last meeting, every possession and rebound could decide this one.
