10* BIG WEST TOTAL OF WEEK: 205-158 ALL RUN!
(NCAAB) Beach (LBSU) vs. Gauchos (UCSB),
Total: 138.50 | -110.00 Under
Result: Loss
This is a 10* BIG WEST TOW on the UNDER LBSU/UC Santa Barbara.

These teams have been involved in several higher-scoring games of late, but everything finally points to more of a defensive battle in my opinion here on Saturday because of a couple of different key situational factors.

LBSU is just 7-15. It's off the heartbreaking 80-75 OT loss at home to UCI as a 15-point dog. LBSU though has seen the total go UNDER in four of its last five after playing to three or more straight OVERs in a row.

UCSB is 13-8, but the Gauchos are off the 78-71 home loss to Cal State Northridge last time. Note though that UC Santa Barbara has seen the total go UNDER in eight of its last 12 off a SU/ATS home loss as a favorite.

I'm expecting a slower-pace here finally, and for this total to stay well UNDER the posted number once it's all said and done.

Good luck, NP
