Cal Baptist vs Southern Utah Prediction

I’ll stick with Cal Baptist. The Lancers rolled right past Abilene Christian in their last outing, hitting a nice 58.5 percent from the field with a 32-22 rebounding edge and a 44-14 advantage in the paint. It wasn’t perfect though, as Cal Baptist put up just 54.5 percent (18-of-33) from the line and had 13 turnovers. Still, the Lancers are looking good with three straight wins (all at home) and they’ve scored a combined 169 points over the last pair.

These teams have met up twice so far, with the Lancers taking both: 58-55 at home on January 10 and 83-66 on the road on February 12. In that latest outing, Cal Baptist shot well on 48.6 percent from the field and 45 percent (9-of-20) from outside. The Lancers added a 37-24 rebounding edge and a 46-28 advantage on points in the paint. If Cal Baptist can even come close to those numbers in this matchup they’ll be doing great.
