The Titans are 4-1 ATS in the last five overall and 2-6 ATS in their last eight Thursday games. The under is 6-2 in CSUF’s last eight overall.
Meanwhile, CSUN is 4-1 ATS in their last five Thursday games and 2-0-2 ATS in their last four overall. The under is 5-1 in the Matadors’ last six road games.
PICK: I’m going with the Titans here, but staying away due to the relatively thick line. It’s been a while since we’ve seen Cal State Fullerton on the court so it’s tough to know what to expect. That said, the Titans have scored well over their last three games, with 73 or more points in each. The scoring for CSUF has been spotty this year but they should be able to match up with the Matadors. A lot of different things could happen in this one though, so I’m not going near it.
