Predicted Outcome
California is heavily favored due to superior talent, home-court advantage, and Presbyterian's poor road record on Tuesdays. Despite California's rest disadvantage, the Bears' offensive firepower and defensive consistency should be enough to cover the spread and push the total over. Presbyterian's recent night-game success and California's rest disadvantage add some risk, but the odds and trends strongly favor California.
