UC Santa Barbara has a new coach in Joe Pasternack and looks to improve following a season filled with injuries and academic problems. The Gauchos return Gabe Vincent back from an injury and a couple transfers Marcus Jackson, a three-year starter at Rice, and Leland King. The Gauchos won three of their final five games last season and actually are picked near the top in the Big West Conference this year. North Dakota State lost its starting point guard, Khy Kabellis, who transferred to Pacific. The Bison were 0-4-1 ATS its last five games of the 2016-17 season, which ended with a 19-point loss to Indiana-Purdue. NDSU will depend on first-team All-Summit League guard Paul Miller, who averaged 16.7 points, and forward A.J. Jacobson. The Gauchos are a team on the way up and are playing at home in a nearly even game. Play UC Santa Barbara on the moneyline.
