The Golden Bears' last four of their five games have been below the total mark following an against-the-spread win. 34 of their last 52 games have been below the total line played on a Wednesday. The team has been hit by a number of injuries that have seriously hampered their season.

There have been no recent meetings between the two teams, but it is safe to say that both teams are suffering in their respective conferences. Expect a close contest and a low-scoring encounter.
