There certainly hasn't been much separation from these teams this season as both finished with identical 19-12 records, as well as 11-5 in conference play. The Gauchos are on a six-game winning streak, and have won 9 of their last 10, and have the "sexy" look of the team to grab onto at this point. Looking closer, the Gauchos failed to cover both games vs. Irvine this season, and over their last 16 games, despite winning most of them, they are just 6-9-1 ATS. The Anteaters are the team playing over the line at 13-7 ATS in their last 20, and are 12-4 over their last 16. The Anteaters winning has been a product of their dedication to the defensive end of the floor, paying off in the win column, but also producing an 8-2 mark to the UNDER in their last 10 games. UCSB had a wild one vs. Hawaii, but other than that the Gauchos have limited their opponents to 60 or less in their other seven most recent games. The Anteaters are an impressive 9-2 ATS in their last 11 vs. a winning team, while the Gauchos have stumbled at a neutral site at 2-5 ATS in their last seven. UC Irvine is a nation's best 39-12-1 to the UNDER in their last 52 games overall, while UC Santa Barbara a nation's best 24-6 to the UNDER in their last 30 at a neutral site. Play on UC Irvine and the UNDER.
