Game outlook

San Diego is on the road playing UC Riverside at the Student Recreation Center stadium on Tuesday, 12/20/2022 @ 10:00pm EST. UC Riverside -3.5 was the opening favorite and line hasn't moved.

When the San Diego Toreros (6-6, 0-0 WCC) take on the UC Riverside Highlanders (6-4, 0-0 Big West) on Tuesday night, they will be looking for their first road win of the season. The Toreros lost 91-67 to Arizona State as 11.5-point underdogs. As 14-point underdogs, the Highlanders lost to Oregon 71-65.

Two wins in a row for the bullfighters

A loss to the Sun Devils followed the Toreros' win over UC San Diego. A win over the Highlanders would give them their second win in three games after the loss. The average point total for San Diego is 76.2. In their last game, they scored 67 points, making 40 percent of their field goals and 37 percent of their three-pointers.

With 17 points and 12 rebounds, Eric Williams Jr. led the Toreros. Seikou Sisoho Jawara finished with 15 points and three rebounds, while Marcellus Earlington contributed 12 points and nine rebounds. Defensively, San Diego has struggled, allowing 77.8 points per game. Having given up 91 points in their last game, they will have to play much better if they want to win this game.

The Highlanders are looking for their sixth win in eight games

In their last game, the Highlanders lost to the Ducks after beating Idaho. It will be their sixth win in their last eight games if they beat the Toreros. UC Riverside averages 68.6 points per game. In their last game, they scored 65 points, making 40 percent of their field goals and 26.1% of their three-pointers.

With 21 points, five rebounds, and three assists, Zyon Pullin led the Highlanders. Flynn Cameron added 11 points, four rebounds, and three assists to Kyle Owens' 11 points and six rebounds. UC Riverside has struggled defensively, allowing 71.8 points per game. In their last game, they gave up 71 points, so they will need to improve if they want to win.

In their first six games, the Toreros split and lost their only road game. While they have played well offensively, they have struggled on the road where they average less than 72 points per game and make only 40 percent of their shots. They have also struggled at the free throw line in their last three games, and they don't rebound the ball as well as the Highlanders, so don't expect them to get a lot of extra scoring chances. The Highlanders have held their opponents to 70 points per game in their last three games, making it difficult for the Toreros to score offensively. Six of the Highlanders' last 10 games have been won. The team scores less than 70 points per game and makes 43 percent of its shots offensively. Due to their excellent offensive glass play, they will have more scoring opportunities, and they don't turn the ball over much. There will be a hard time slowing down the Highlanders as the Toreros are not very good defensively and they play worse on the road where they give up more than 80 points per game. To cover the spread, choose UC Riverside.

San Diego Highlights

With a power ranking of 212, San Diego is ranked #59 in offense (scoring an average of 79.45 per game), #303 in defense (allowing an average of 74.09 points to be scored against them per game) and are 6-6 (3-7 ATS) this season.

UC Riverside Highlights

UC Riverside Highlanders has a power ranking of 136 and are #180 for offense (scoring an average of 72.30 per game), #157 for defense (giving up an average of 74.09 points per game) and 6-4 (5-3-1 ATS) overall. San Diego went 1-2 (2-1 ATS) in their last 3 matchups against UC Riverside.
