What to Know

The Long Beach State Beach are on the road again on Thursday and play against the Northridge Matadors at 10 p.m. ET Feb. 17 at Matadome. These two teams seek to continue their momentum from their previous wins.

Long Beach State beat the Hawaii Warriors 73-66 last week.

Meanwhile, Northridge didn't have too much breathing room in their game with the Cal State Bakersfield Roadrunners on Saturday, but they still walked away with a 71-65 win.

The Beach are the favorite in this one, with an expected 6-point margin of victory. They are currently ten-for-ten against the spread in their most recent games, a trend bettors might want to take into account.

Long Beach State had enough points to win and then some against Northridge in the teams' previous meeting last month, taking their contest 71-55. The rematch might be a little tougher for Long Beach State since the squad won't have home-court advantage. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
