UC Davis vs Oregon State Prediction 

Oregon State comes into this matchup trying to snap their two-game losing streak, but both losses came against decent teams. The Beavers are shooting nearly 48% from the field, while their defense is holding opponents to fewer than 60 points per game. UC Davis is shooting just 42.4% from the field and they are allowing 74.5 points per game on defense. I think Oregon State’s defense will be the difference in this game, so I am taking the Beavers to cover at home.
