December 21, 2022
img7:00 PM Eastern

Texas Arlington is on a three-game road trip and picked up its first road victory of the season in the last game. They won at San Francisco, 68-63, as an underdog scoring 38 first-half points. California is winless on the season despite the efforts of guard Devin Askew (16.9 ppg) and 7-1 senior Lars Thiemann (12.2 ppg, 6.7 rpg). The defense is a weak spot, including surrendering 80+ points in two of its last four. They've given up 41 and 43 first-half points in each of the last two contests. And Cal is 23-13 OVER the First Half Total at home against teams that commit 14 or fewer turnovers per game. Take Texas Arlington/California First Half OVER the total.
