The UC-Davis Aggies and the Sacramento State Hornets meet in college basketball action from the Golden 1 Center on Tuesday night.
The UC-Davis Aggies come into this game looking to shake off a 72-67 loss to Pepperdine last time out. Christian Anigwe leads the Aggies in scoring and rebounding with 17 PPG and 8.7 RPG while Elijah Pepper has 16.3 PPG and Ezra Manjon has 13 PPG and a team-high 3.3 APG to make up the group of double-digit scorers for the Aggies up to this point in the season. As a team, UC-Davis is averaging 74.3 PPG on 42.5% shooting from the field, 26.6% from three and 69.2% from the foul line while allowing 72.3 PPG on 38% shooting from the field and 33.3% from three this season.
The Sacramento State Hornets will be trying to bounce back from a 71-56 loss to UC-San Diego last time out. Bryce Fowler leads the Hornets in scoring and assists with 15 PPG and 2.5 APG this season while Zach Chappell has 10.4 PPG and 4 RPG as the only other double-digit scorer for Sac State so far this season. Jonathan Komagum has a team-high 5.8 RPG as well this season for Sac State. As a team, Sacramento State is averaging 64.8 PPG on 38.8% shooting from the field, 32.5% from three and 70.6% from the foul line while allowing 69 PPG on 41.6% shooting from the field and 26.2% from three this season.
UC-Davis is 6-2-1 ATS in their last 9 games following an ATS loss and 14-3-2 ATS in their last 19 games following a SU loss while the under is 4-1-1 in their last 6 games overall. Sacramento State is 8-1 ATS in their last 9 neutral site games and 5-1 ATS in their last 6 neutral site games as an underdog while the under is 18-7-1 in their last 26 Tuesday games.
I get the case that could be made for Sacramento State and the points, but the Hornets have struggled against lesser teams on their schedule, teams far less than what UC-Davis brings to the table. I look for the Aggies to storm the Hornets from the opening tip, getting a big win and cover here.
