What to Know

The California Baptist Lancers have enjoyed the comforts of home their last three games, but now they must head out on the road. They will square off against the California Riverside Highlanders at 7 p.m. ET Sunday at Student Recreation Center. California Baptist will be strutting in after a win while California Riverside will be stumbling in from a loss.

The Lancers strolled past the North Dakota Fighting Hawks with points to spare last week, taking the game 89-71.

Meanwhile, the Highlanders were within striking distance but couldn't close the gap two weeks ago as they fell 71-65 to the Oregon Ducks. The top scorer for California Riverside was guard Dominick Pickett (15 points).

California Baptist is expected to lose this next one by 6.5. Those who got lucky with them against the spread last Tuesday might want to hold off on placing bets this time since the squad has yet to string together back-to-back wins against the spread.

California Baptist's victory brought them up to 8-1 while California Riverside's defeat pulled them down to 5-4. A couple offensive stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: The Lancers enter the matchup with a 49.70% field goal percentage, good for 13th best in college basketball. Less enviably, the Highlanders are stumbling into the contest with the 35th fewest points per game in college basketball, having accrued only 63.9 on average.
