GAME OF YEAR (CBB) .. NON-CONF .. 13-1 RECORD
(NCAAB) Howard vs. UC-Santa Barbara, 12/20/2023 10:00 PM, Score: 81 - 94
Point Spread: -8.50 | -110.00 UC-Santa Barbara (Home)
Result: Win
T.M. Selection: UC Santa Barbara - ATS

I like the University of Cal Santa Barbara Gauchos to win this game against the Howard Bison on Wednesday, December 20th. Looking at this game, I believe that it will be a blowout. The Gauchos have now won back to back and look to be heating up after the road win against LMU. The Bison have lost back to back including a one point loss last time out at home against a 1-8 Texas Southern team. That shocking loss will leave doubt in the minds of some of the Howard plays leading into this game and for a while. A very winnable game that was and to lose by one like that is dreadful. UCSB is 90+ spots ahead in KenPom and have the much stronger offensive and defensive efficiency ratings. I expect a cover at the very least here today for the Gauchos.

T.M. Prediction: 91-68 UCSB.

Line: -8.5

Line Parameter: play until -10.5..
