Big West sources alerted us early to potential upgrades at Cal Poly, where new HC Mike DeGeorge cleared the decks. DeGeorge, who won big at D-II Colorado-Mesa, has loaded the Mustangs roster with D-II transfers, including two from CU-Mesa, Gs Owen Koonce (15.8 ppg) & Isaac Jessup (14.3 ppg), who combined for 51 points in Saturday's rousing 97-90 upset win at Stanford. The Mustangs have covered six of eight early this season. As for UC Davis, it hit one real high note in 75-68 upset at Grand Canyon on November 20, but has slowed down thereafter with heavy losses to Norfolk State and Oregon State, as HC Jim Les seems to be missing the leadership of graduated Elijah Pepper (20.7 ppg LY). Play Cal Poly

Cal Poly is 6-1 ATS on the season as an underdog. The Aggies have lost three of their last four games and are shooting less than 47% effectively on the year. This will only be the third home game for UC Davis thus far and face a Mustangs offense in the top 50 in terms of offensive efficiency. UC Davis an experienced team and while their offense isn’t as potent as the Mustangs, they are able to create turnovers, and they defend the perimeter well. This is also just a fishy line for them to be favored over a much better team.
