The Cal Poly Mustangs and Fresno State Bulldogs meet Friday in college basketball action at the Save Mart Center. The Cal Poly Mustangs need a win after losing seven of their last nine games. The Fresno State Bulldogs look to build on their 8-2 record.

The under is 22-8 in Mustangs last 30 overall. The under is 6-2 in Bulldogs last 8 overall. The favorite is 6-1 ATS in the last 7 meetings.
The Fresno State Bulldogs are clearly the better team here, but we’re getting a lot of points with a defensive minded club in Cal Poly that can hang around. Also, Cal Poly has had a lot of covering success this season. This could also be a bit of a look ahead spot for Fresno State, with a road trip to Utah on deck. I’ll take a stab with the Cal Poly Mustangs and free points.
