The Lancers want to play at a faster pace, and they are averaging 72 points per game while their defense is giving up 70.6 points per game. The defense, at times, has let them down, and they will need the defense to be a whole lot better.

UT Arlington is Ice Cold

Two games ago against Grand Canyon, they lost 85-71, and in the last game against Abilene Christian, they lost 70–59.

Give me UT Arlington in this game. U Arlington’s offense is strong, averaging 74.4 points per game, and they are going to have no issue running up the score here. Cal Baptist’s defense has been a major issue heading into this game, and they will really have some problems again here. UT Arlington’s offense has been balanced all year, and even when the top players struggle, others have done a good job of stepping up. UT Arlington is going to end up snapping out of here. Back UT Arlington against the spread.
