Awful Start for Seattle

It’s been an awful start for Seattle and they are still looking for their first win of the season. Seattle has been competitive in all three of the games, but they have fallen short in each of the games. Two games ago against Liberty, Seattle lost 66-64 and in the last game against Cal Poly, they ended up losing 75-71. At halftime, they were down 37-31 and in the second half, they couldn’t make the comeback. John Christofilis had a strong game putting up 16 points and four rebounds. There were three different players that put up at least 13 points. In this game, it’s going to be about a big second half. 

How Good is UC San Diego?

The big question for UC San Diego is how good is this team? In the first game of the season, UC San Diego was competitive against San Diego State and ended up losing five points. Two games ago against Pepperdine, UC San Diego was able to secure a 94-76 victory. In the last game against Sacramento State, the defense was elite giving up only 54 points and they ended up owning by ten points. The top offensive player was Aniwaniwa Tait-Jones and he put up 21 points, eight rebounds, and four assists. 

Seattle vs UC San Diego Prediction

It’s been a slow start to the season for Seattle, but they have been competitive and they are going to be competitive again here. I am still not sold on this UC San Diego defense and their defense is going to really struggle here. Seattle’s offense is going to have no issue getting out to the fast start, and that is going to be the difference as Seattle is going to get the job done. Back Seattle against the spread here.
