California Baptist Lancers

College Basketball

The Lancers won all 15 home games in 2025-26 and covered only seven of them. Laying ten points or more at home, California Baptist covered once in eight.

Unbeaten at home, not on the number

Here is the gap to watch. California Baptist went 15-0 at home, and one unit on the Lancers in every home game made 3.13 units. Against the spread the same games went 7-8. The bigger the home line, the less it held: laying ten or more, the Lancers covered one of eight, winning 58-55 over Southern Utah at -14.5 and 56-55 over Tarleton State at -10.5.
