Both meetings this season went UNDER and by substantial margins. Cal Poly won 67-65, going UNDER by 42.5 points on Jan. 1, and UC San Diego won the rematch 80-64 on Feb. 28, with the game staying UNDER by 30.5 points. The oddsmakers lowered the posted total for this game, which is the first round of the Big West tournament, but not low enough, as the Tritons have gone UNDER in their past three games while allowing 67.3 points per game. UCSD defeated UC Santa Barbara on Saturday, 64-63, and it went UNDER by 13.5 points. The Tritons made only two 3-pointers on 15 tries. Cal Poly shoots 33.7 percent from 3-point range compared to 33.2 percent for UC San Diego, which is 18-12 UNDER in 2025-26. Take the UNDER.

Pro Picks
Cal Poly SLO at UC San Diego
Cal Poly does have a signature win as the Mustangs outscored Stanford 63-47 in the second half on Nov. 30 and beat the Cardinal 97-90 while shooting 54 percent. The Mustangs also beat Denver 95-94 in overtime and lost two overtime games against San Jose State and UC Irvine. Mike DeGeorge is in his first year as coach of Cal Poly and he brought in plenty of transfers, which were needed after a 4-28 finish in 2023-24. So far there has been improvement with six wins already and the Mustangs have shown they are capable of pulling off some outright wins let alone covering the big spreads. Both teams have similar field goal percentages at 46 percent and both average about 82 points per game. I'm grabbing Cal Poly ATS and taking a shot on the generous moneyline.
