Santa Barbara vs. Long Beach State

The Big West comes down to the two best teams as UC Santa Barbara recorded win No. 20, and Long Beach State with 24. Many feel that even with a loss, the 49ers will get an at-large bid, but that isn’t a certainty, so expect them to play strong on the defensive end. Their season may be on the line, and they are too good to miss the opportunity at hand. Typically when you have these neutral-court tournament teams squaring off, when both are good but not great (60-80% winning percentages each), it becomes a defensive battle. History shows that to be true as 61.4% of the time these chess matches fail to get to the total. Play this one on the UNDER.
