In their last game, California was on the road where they lost to 19th ranked Arizona 66-54. The 12-point loss wasn’t a large enough margin to stop Cal from cover the 17.5 point spread. Their first ATS win in five games. The 120 points scored feel UNDER the 143.5 line for the third consecutive time in Bears games. In the game, Sueing was the top scorer for the Golden Bears, picking up 17 points on 8 of 13 shooting, and he was the only player for the team to go for double figures. Deandre Ayton led the Wildcats going for a double-double with 26 points on 9 of 12 shooting and added 20 rebounds. Cal was outscored by nine points in the second half scoring just 19 points. For the game, they shot an unimpressive 38.9% from the floor, but their defense was solid holding Arizona to 38.8%. California has lost seven in a row and 16 of their last 17 games and finished the season in last place in the Pac 12 with a 2-16 W/L record in conference play.

Cal vs. Stanford Pac 12 Tournament Prediction ATS 03/07/2018

Stanford has elevated their play, winning four of their last five with the lone loss coming on the road against Arizona. But that doesn’t mean that I’m going to lay nearly double digits on a team that has lost all three of their neutral site games this season. The total though does hold some value. Cal has had its struggles scoring this season, but this all about pace. The Golden Bears had 70 FG attempts in their last meeting and 66 in the previous racking up 73 and 77 points in the two games. The Cardinal had no problem scoring in the two matches with a 75.5 point per game average and come into this game scoring 77 or higher point totals in four of their last five while allowing 73 plus in all five.
