Santa Barbara at Cal Irvine

It's hard to find reason to back an Irvine team that shot 52.6% from beyond the arc in its last game and lost by double-digits. Cal Santa Barbara took the collar at home shooting 0-9 from deep in a 4 point loss. This is not the norm for this team, as they connect on 41.4% from three. Prior to their loss to Northridge, the only two blemishes on the Gaucho's record were administered by Stanford and NC. The Gaucho's are the odds-on favorite to win the conference, and good teams don't go on the road vs a very mediocre team and lose, period. UCSB can put some points up, and Irvine is allowing 49% FG shooting against them and 39% from three. Here we get a better team, hungry off a loss. The Gauchos should easily get the win here.
