UC Santa Barbara is having trouble ATS and SU in conference play (2-8 ATS and 4-6 SU). They especially have trouble with teams that like to run up and down the court. That's The Beach's bread and butter. On 12/28 in Santa Barbara the Niners dropped 71 on a Gaucho squad that looked like a deer in the headlights. +7 rebound margin went to LBSU as well FG49% (24-49). Look for more of the same from LBSU at home, setting a fast tempo and leaving the Gauchos playing a game of catch-up that they can't handle.

Pick : LBSU -6.5

Posting Record (1-2)

I like Long Beach State alot but wouldnt put them on my 4 because they have struggled to put teams away all year. I think you on the right side tho my opinion
