We are favored by 13.
By KenPom we are #89 (NIT-worthy!) and they are #275. In our first 2 games we were favored by 9.5 and 11 respectively (IIRC) and beat the spread both times. Montana #187 and Fullerton #241 by KenPom, so in theory CSULB is even worse.
However, this opponent has notoriously given us problems; 2 years ago they straight-up beat us, and last year's game was a down-to-the-wire nail-biter that our eventual 7 point victory doesn't reflect. Shouldn't have been that close.
Thoughts? Anyone going? A good friend of mine is, and I hope to ask her how attendance looks. I've heard the student section is showing up in a big way.
