They averaged 89.5 points scored and allowed 71.4 points during this stretch.

In terms of previous meetings, this game marked the second encounter between the two teams in the 2025 season, with the Bears having won the first matchup 71-61 on March 2, 2025. This history added an extra layer of intensity to the game, as the Cowboys looked to avenge their earlier defeat.
