• The team is in the middle of a six-game losing streak and will head into the game on Wednesday with hopes of turning things around.
• They have a talented roster, but often fall short in the fourth quarter. Coach Wes Unseld Jr. will be looking to get his rotations right and instill a sense of confidence in his team ahead of this encounter.
