Santa Barbara at Cal Riverside

UC Santa Barbara has had very good teams lately, but the loss of many key players heading into this campaign spelled struggle early. The Gauchos are turning the corner, and their consecutive wins has them a win shy of the .500 mark. I think they continue their winning ways tonight in playing at UC Riverside. The Gauchos have commanded the defensive end of the court where half of their last six opponents have shot less than 40%. UC Riverside has dropped three straight games, despite shooting over 50% in two of them, and turnovers have paved the way to the loss column, as they have averaged 14.2 miscues per contest in their last nine games. The Gauchos have actually been a winning team on the road at 8-7 on the season, while the Highlanders have been just a breakeven team on their home court at 7-7, and have been heading in the wrong direction at 0-3 SU and ATS in their last three here. Play on UC Santa Barbara on the moneyline.
