What to Know

The Beach strolled past the Northridge Matadors with points to spare this past Thursday, taking the contest 72-59.
Meanwhile, Santa Barbara came up short against the Cal State Fullerton Titans this past Thursday, falling 67-58.
Long Beach State is expected to lose this next one by 5. They might be worth taking a chance on against the spread, however, as they are currently on an 11-game streak of ATS wins.
Long Beach State was able to grind out a solid win over Santa Barbara in the teams' previous meeting in January, winning 65-58. The rematch might be a little tougher for Long Beach State since the team won't have home-court advantage. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
