UC Santa Barbara vs Seattle Prediction 

Seattle comes into this matchup looking for their fifth win in a row and they dominated Texas State in the second half on Friday. The Redhawks are shooting 53% from the field, but they have allowed 69 points or fewer in three of their last four games. UC Santa Barbara has won two games in a row, but they barely got by Lehigh last night. The Gauchos are shooting 48% from the field and they do have better rebounding numbers, but I think the Seattle defense will be the difference. Take the Redhawks to cover here.
