CS Northridge at Santa Barbara

The UCSB Gauchos have put together 19 or more win seasons in five of the last six years, including back-to-back 20-win campaigns. They are going to fall well shy of those numbers this year, as a lot of the studs they have had have moved on and the rebuilding process has begun. The Gauchos are a disappointing 7-10 on the season as they take the floor vs a 7-12 CS Northridge team. Northridge is a bit under the radar as three of their last four wins have come outright as an underdog. UC Santa Barbara has been a favorite just 2 times since well before Christmas, and own a loss and a four-point win. This team has a strong reputation, and that has added to fuel the number here as they hit the floor as a home favorite for the first time in almost two months, and the number is simply not justified, so make the play on CS Northridge.
