What to Know

The Cal Poly Mustangs' road trip will continue as they head to Matadome at 4 p.m. ET Saturday to face off against the Northridge Matadors. The teams split their matchups last year, with the Mustangs winning the first 76-70 at home on the road and Northridge taking the second 64-51.

Cal Poly was pulverized by the Fresno State Bulldogs 83-48 three weeks ago. Guard Brantly Stevenson put forth a good effort for the losing side as he had 14 points along with six boards.

Meanwhile, the Matadors came up short against the California-San Diego Tritons on Saturday, falling 72-64.

Cal Poly is now 3-8 while Northridge sits at 4-8. A pair of offensive stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: Cal Poly is stumbling into the matchup with the 17th fewest points per game in college basketball, having accrued only 62.5 on average. Northridges have had an even harder time: they are fifth worst in college basketball in points per game, with only 60.8 on average. It's possible one of these Achilles' heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
