What to Know

The Fresno State Bulldogs will take on the UC Irvine Anteaters at 9 p.m. ET Saturday at Bren Events Center. Given that these two teams suffered a loss in their last game, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this game.

It looks like the Bulldogs got the smaller half of the wishbone at Thanksgiving dinner. They came up short against the Vanderbilt Commodores last Thursday, falling 67-59. Fresno State's defeat came about despite a quality game from guard Jemarl Baker, who had 22 points and seven assists.

Meanwhile, UC Irvine was close but no cigar on Tuesday as they fell 72-69 to the San Diego State Aztecs. Despite the loss, UC Irvine got a solid performance out of guard DJ Davis, who had 28 points.

Fresno State is expected to lose this next one by 8. Now might not be the best time to take Fresno State against the spread since they've let down bettors for the past five consecutive games.

The losses put Fresno State at 1-5 and the Anteaters at 6-2. A couple stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: The Bulldogs have only been able to knock down 39.20% percent of their shots, which is the ninth lowest field goal percentage in college basketball. UC Irvine's defense has more to brag about, as they they have been holding their opponents to a field goal percentage of 36.60%, which places them 19th in college basketball. So the cards are definitely stacked in their favor.
