Cal Poly SLO Mustangs vs Delaware Blue Hens Point Spread Picks

The Delaware Blue Hens are going to have a tough time filling the void left by their top four players from last year. They must replace 68 points per game 23 rebounds per game and over 300 assists. A small program without the ability to immediately reload is going to take some time to get things back to the level they enjoyed the last couple of seasons. The Mustangs were in over their heads at Nevada dropping to 1-1 on the season, but taking on a team traveling 3,000 miles with a lot of new faces is going to give them a huge edge here at home. Delaware lacks experience, and it showed on the road in their opener against lowly Liberty in a 6-point loss. Cal Poly has the home court, the experience and the more game-ready team here. Lay the points and play on Cal Poly.

Cal Poly doesn't try and run with anyone, shooting 42% as a team (282nd in the nation) while averaging 64.3 ppg (321st).
