UC Riverside won the first meeting 68-45, and I like the Highlanders to complete the sweep and cover. Riverside is only 1.5 games out of first in the Big West and has a shot at the regular-season title with four games left. The Matadors shoot a league-worst 39.6 percent, including 31.5 percent from deep. They shot 23.4 percent overall in the first matchup. Look for the Matadors to fall to 5-15 ATS in their last 20 home games.

Long gone are the days of Cal State Northridge being a contender in the Big West. Over the past few seasons, the Matadors have been one of the worst lower-level conference teams in all of college basketball. They have been competitive in their last four home games, however, posting three victories and losing by eight points against San Diego. Take the home underdog.
