Toledo vs UC San Diego Prediction
I’m on UC-San Diego here. There’s no doubting how solid Toledo is, but I’ve liked this UC-San Diego team for some time now and think that they’re the rising star out of the Big West. They do everything fairly well and Toledo has had their lack of defense get in the way and make things a lot closer for the Rockets than you’d expect. I think UCSD gets the win and cover here to win the Boardwalk Battle tournament.
