Cal Poly Pomona lost 65-53 to Cal State Bakersfield on Saturday. Overall, they were outmatched throughout the entirety of the contest and could not move the ball well at all. Quentin Jones led the Mustangs with 16 points. Meanwhile, Kobe Sanders added 10 points. Paul Bizimana had nine points. Unfortunately, the Mustangs shot just 35.2 percent from the field but also hit 40 percent from long range. They also allowed Bakersfield to hit 48 percent of their shots.

Why Cal State Fullerton Will Cover The Spread/Win

The Titans will come into this game with a 9-10 mark and 8-9 against the spread. Additionally, they are 4-6 on the road and 6-4 against the spread away from home. The Titans have not been the favorite on the road that much. Yet, they are 1-1 against the spread on the road as the favorite. The Titans are 4-3 against the spread after a win. Moreover, they are 4-3 against the spread on equal rest as their opponents.

For the Titans, they have three players that can score a ton of points. First, there is Jones. After another good game, he brought his average up to 16.9 points per game while shooting 40.2 percent. When he gets hot, nothing can stop him. For example, he was able to find open space and hit half of his shots against the Gauchos. But it was his three-point shooting that truly did them in.

Carper is another player to watch. Overall, he is averaging 7.5 points and 4.8 rebounds per game. Carper has had more points lately but has not crashed the boards as much. Meanwhile, Brewton also has continued to shine. After scoring 20 points, he is now at 14.4 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 2.4 assists per game. Look for him to continue to have a prominent role in this offense. Lastly, Kabamba will look to replicate his effort on the boards once more.

Cal State Fullerton will cover the spread if their three-headed scoring monster shoots efficiently again. Likewise, Kabamba will need to cover the angles and grab rebounds again.

Why Cal Poly Will Cover The Spread/Win

The Mustangs come into this game with a 4-15 overall mark, 0-7 in the conference, and 7-11 against the spread. Also, they are 2-4 against the spread at home. The Mustangs have been the underdog for every game they have played this season. Furthermore, they are 7-7 against the spread after a loss. The Mustangs are also 2-7 against the spread on equal rest.

They need Sanders to do even better. So far, he is averaging 18.2 points per game while shooting 44 percent. When you are named after one of the greatest basketball players of all, there are higher expectations. At this point, Sanders has hit the mark. But he may need to do even more to carry this team. Ultimately, he might need help from Jarred Hyder, who is averaging 10.8 points per game but shooting just 32.4 percent from the field. Jones must contribute more to the effort. So far, he is averaging 9.5 points and 4.1 rebounds per game.

Cal Poly will cover the spread if Sanders can pull off an exceptional game. Then, the Mustangs need to stop the Titans from getting good shots.

Final Cal State Fullerton-Cal Poly Prediction & Pick

Sanders is amazing. But he is one man facing a team with lots of hoopers. Expect the kids from Fullerton to run wild and do enough to cover the spread.
