Long Beach State Beach vs UC Davis Aggies Prediction

UC Davis has the more reliable offense, especially with its assist rate and multiple scorers capable of shooting from the outside or driving the lane. Long Beach State will stay competitive, but UC Davis’ on-ball pressure and ability to create points off turnovers will be too much playing at home. With Rocak protecting the paint and Sevilla/Cooper/Wilson supplying steady shot-making, the Aggies will win comfortably. Final Score Prediction: UC Davis Aggies win, 84-67.
