Princeton Tigers at Cal Poly SLO Mustangs Prediction
The ingredients make Cal Poly SLO a prime play in this situation. First, Princeton stole America’s heart last yet when it ran the table in the Ivy League and took it to Notre Dame in the First Round of the Men’s Basketball Tournament. Though it was 2016, this left a positive impression on the betting public and compels action on the Tigers here and now. Secondly, Cal Poly enters off a loss whilst Princeton enters off a dominant win against a notable mid-major opponent. This drives Princeton’s stock even further.
However, Cal Poly SLO gets this one at home and home court is a huge component of the college hoops game. Thus, a home dog is always worth a second look from an analytical perspective. From further scrutiny, the Mustangs own the edge against the Tigers in points per game (67.3 PPG for CP compared to 65.4 PPG for Princeton), free throw percentage (78.2 % for CP versus 70.2% for Princeton), and turnovers. CP SLO is also the more physical team overall on the boards and owns a deeper bench as well. When you factor all of this into the equation, the Mustangs are primed not only to cover but also pull an upset.
