What to Know

The California Baptist Lancers have enjoyed the comforts of home their last two games, but now they must head out on the road. The Lancers and the Utah Valley Wolverines will face off in a WAC battle at 8 p.m. ET Wednesday at UCCU Events Center. Utah Valley should still be riding high after a victory, while California Baptist will be looking to get back in the win column.

California Baptist received a tough blow this past Saturday as they fell 87-71 to the Abilene Christian Wildcats.

Meanwhile, Utah Valley bagged a 76-69 win over the Utah Tech Trailblazers last week.

California Baptist is expected to lose this next one by 7. Those sticking with them against the spread have guts, to put it politely, as the squad has let down bettors in their past three games.

It was close but no cigar for the Lancers as they fell 71-67 to the Wolverines in the teams' previous meeting in January. Can California Baptist avenge their defeat, or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll soon find out.
