The Cal Poly Mustangs and Cal State Bakersfield Roadrunners face off on Tuesday in a college basketball showdown at the Icardo Center. When these two teams faced off in January of 2021 it was Cal State Bakersfield that won 67-50. 

Cal Poly comes into this game with a 4-10 record overall and they have gone 7-6 against the spread. Even though they have struggled, they did look good in the last game against UC Davis. The offense scored 82 points and that was enough to come away with the victory. Cal Poly is averaging 62.2 points while their defense is giving up 66.4 points per game. Alimamy Koroma has been the top player for Cal Poly averaging 12.9 points while shooting 51.7 percent from the field and 30.8 percent from behind the three point line.

On the other side of this matchup is Cal State Bakersfield who come into this game with a 5-6 record and they have gone 2-6-1 against the spread. In the last game against UC Riverside, Cal State Bakersfield, was competitive, but they lost 65-64. Cal State Bakersfield is averaging 64.4 points while their defense is giving up 64 points per game. Justin McCall has been the top player for the Roadrunners averaging 10.3 points while shooting 52.2 percent from the field and 33.3 percent from behind the three point line 

The Roadrunners are 0-5 against the spread in their last five games played on Tuesday. The Mustangs are 4-0 against the spread in their last 4 games following a straight up win. Cal State Bakersfield is 0-4 against the spread in their last 4 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of less than .400. Cal State Bakersfield is 1-8-1 against the spread in their last 10 games vs. a team with a winning % below .400.

These are two teams that like to play at a slower pace and I expect that is going to lead to this game being lower scoring. Look for both teams to have issues scoring and this game is going to stay under the total. I expect it to finish around 114 or 115 points. 

The pick in this article is the opinion of the writer, not a PickDawgz site consensus.
