The California Golden Bears will be on the road at Utah on Wednesday. Both teams are 4-3 in conference play, and the Utes are just a slight favorite at home in this contest. The Utes beat California by a score of 76-61 in Utah last season, and I think the home team will prevail once again.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Previous History - The Utes have won four of their last five overall, and they've won three of their last four versus California. They've scored a ton of points at home, averaging 85.1 points on 50.8 percent shooting while winning nine of 10.

2. Home Cookin' - The Utes are 22-4 ATS in their last 26 home games vs. a team with a losing road record, while Cal is 2-5 ATS in it's last seven road games.

3. X-Factor - The Bears will be without senior PG Tyrone Wallace, who is sidelined with a hand injury.
