Why this one matters

These two programs met earlier this month in a two-point game, and neither side will forget that finish. Giddings has the edge from the last meeting (44-42 on Dec. 2), so look for Taylor to bring urgency on both ends. With tournament play, teams often tighten rotations and lean on veteran guards — expect a physical, fast-moving matchup in Giddings.
