Cornell comes off a successful 22-8 season under coach Jon Jacques in his first year last year and they've started this season out at 6-3 scoring 84 points a game with some insane shooting from three-point range making 11 of 31 shots per game. Defensively, Cal only allows 47.9% shooting which is one of the worst percentages in the nation. Cal's average score is 81-75. This thing is going to fly high and sail over the total.

In a peculiar bit of scheduling, Cornell concludes a five-game road stretch with a 10 p.m. (ET) tip-off just two days after beating Army at West Point. The Big Red have been impressive out of the blocks, but this is a big ask. Early losses for Cal were expected, seeing as how the Bears are integrating 11 new players, and recent setbacks to Missouri and Stanford are not alarming. They are 5-1 straight-up at home and should capitalize on Cornell's demanding travel itinerary.
