UC Davis Aggies Betting Form
The UC Davis Aggies have leaned on offensive structure and ball movement throughout Big West play. UC Davis is comfortable operating in the half court, generating clean looks through patient sets rather than quick shots. That approach has helped them limit turnovers and stay efficient late in games.
Defensively, UC Davis is disciplined and does a solid job finishing possessions with rebounds. They are not an aggressive pressure team, but they rarely beat themselves with unnecessary fouls or blown rotations. Free-throw creation on offense has been a quiet strength, especially in tight second halves.
There are no major availability concerns reported, but bettors should still confirm final status through the UC Davis Aggies injury report before tipoff.
Cal Poly Mustangs Betting Form
The Cal Poly Mustangs have struggled to find offensive consistency this season. They prefer to slow games down and rely on defense and rebounding to stay competitive, particularly at home. When Cal Poly succeeds, it is usually because they limit transition opportunities and force opponents into contested shots.
Offensively, the Mustangs can be streaky. Perimeter shooting drives much of their scoring, and when shots are not falling, possessions can dry up quickly. Turnovers and limited free-throw generation have made it difficult for Cal Poly to close gaps late against more efficient teams.
Roster stability appears solid, though bettors should still review the Cal Poly Mustangs injury report closer to game time.

From a betting perspective, UC Davis laying a short number on the road is the preferred side.
