Not having Betts in the lineup changes the approach for both teams.

Betts leads the conference and NCAA with a .638 field goal percentage. She has 147 rebounds in 17 games, and her 8.6 rebounds per game is No. 6 in the Pac-12.

The Bruins will look to get back in the win column after dropping their last game to Utah.
