Cal Irvine at Santa Barbara

This is a big game in the Big West as the winner here will go a long way to having an edge at or near the top of the conference standings. Irvine has suffered just one conference loss on the season, but it was in overtime in their last game. They may be a half step slow in this game, especially on the road vs. a solid Santa Barbara team that features arguably the best player in the conference. Double-double machine Alan Williams has poured in 22.9 points per game and 10.6 rebounds per game, and could prove to be the Anteaters undoing. The Anteaters have not been up to task on the road vs. a team that is greater than .600 on their home court, as they are just 5-14 ATS in their last 19. Santa Barbara has quickly regained focus off a loss where they are 6-1 ATS in their last seven. Back Santa Barbara on the moneyline.
