Game outlook

Cal Poly is on the road playing San Jose St. at the Provident Credit Union Event Center stadium on Tuesday, 12/20/2022 @ 10:00pm EST. San Jose St. -6 was the opening favorite and line hasn't moved.

The Cal Poly Mustangs (5-5, 0-0 Big West) will face the San Jose State Spartans (8-4, 0-0 MW) on Tuesday night in an effort to snap their two-game losing streak. As 5.5-point favorites, the Mustangs lost 74-45 to Weber State. Despite being two-point underdogs, the Spartans lost to Pacific 59-58.

Five wins in seven games for the Mustangs

Following a four-game winning streak, the Mustangs lost their last two games. By beating the Spartans, they will make it five wins in seven games. The average point total for Cal Poly is 61.3. In their last game, they scored 45 points, making 34.7 percent of their field goals and 25 percent of their three-pointers.

The Mustangs' Alimamy Koroma led them with 11 points and two rebounds. Trevon Taylor finished with 10 points and two rebounds, and Bryan Penn-Johnson added eight points. Defense has been strong for Cal Poly, allowing 65.8 points per game. They gave up 74 points in their last game, so they'll need to improve if they want to win.

Three wins in a row for the Spartans

In their last game, the Spartans lost to the Tigers, snapping their two-game winning streak. They will try to bounce back from the loss with a win over the Mustangs, which will make it three wins in a row. San Jose State averages 67.2 points per game. In their last game, they scored 58 points while making 45.8 percent of their field goals and 55 percent of their three-pointers.

With 17 points and four assists, Alvaro Cardenas led the Spartans. Myron Amey Jr. added eight points and three rebounds to Trey Anderson's nine points and three rebounds. Despite giving up 66.4 points per game, San Jose State has played well defensively. In their last game, they gave up 59 points, so a similar effort is needed to win.

Despite splitting their last four games, the Mustangs have lost three of their last four games on the road. Their offense isn't very effective, and they play worse road. They average fewer than 60 points per game and make less than 38 percent of their shots. They haven't rebounded well, and they've turned the ball over more than 15 times per game on the road. At home, the Spartans have held their opponents to fewer than 60 points per game, so expect them to hold Cal Poly's offense in check. In their last six games, the Spartans have won four and their last five at home. Their field goal percentage is 47 percent, but they do not score a lot of points. As a very capable offensive rebounding team, they have been crashing the offensive glass better in the last three games. Therefore, expect them to get plenty of opportunities to score.

Cal Poly Highlights

With a power ranking of 125, Cal Poly is ranked #329 in offense (scoring an average of 64.60 per game), #89 in defense (allowing an average of 65.10 points to be scored against them per game) and are 5-5 (6-3 ATS) this season.
