Cal Irvine at Santa Barbara

The UC Irvine Anteaters have had a lot of trouble finding the win column, dropping five of their last six. The record shows ugly, but what they have done is play close in all the games as their biggest loss in the stretch has been by 8 points, despite taking doubles in two of them. They have really played hard, resulting in a 4-0-1 ATS mark taking 10 or more. Santa Barbara has played very well going 6-2 in their last eight games, but has failed in their only attempt to cover a double-digit line pinned on them. The Anteaters have a great track record in this building where they have covered the last five. I’ll back UC Irvine in this one.
