This game will be played at T-Mobile Arena at 5:30 PM ET on Wednesday, March 8, 2023.
Why Bet on the Under:
✅ Cal has a simply tragic offense, as they are at the bottom of the Pac-12, averaging 58.5 points per game. Their offense is ranked 307th in Division I by Kenpom going into Wednesday, and that will lay the foundation for a low-scoring game.
✅ These teams just played a 63-57 game near the end of the regular season. We should see a similarly low-scoring matchup here to kick off the Pac-12 Tournament for these squads.

Head to Head
Teams Last 10
California Golden Bears
The Cal Golden Bears may be the worst Power 5 college basketball program going right now. Despite valiant efforts from teams like Louisville to take that spot from them, Cal delivered another horrid regular season, going 3-28 overall and 2-18 in conference play. Here, their season is likely to come to an end in the first round of the Pac-12 Tournament.
For Cal, the question in this and every game is where their offense is going to come from. They average 58.5 points per game, and do not have a player averaging double figures on the year. As a result, it is hard to see their stay in Las Vegas lasting beyond Wednesday.
Washington State Cougars
The Washington State Cougars come into Wednesday’s action at 16-15 overall and 11-9 in Pac-12 competition. While these numbers are by no means dazzling, the fact that they are simply a Division I basketball team puts them in a good position to beat Cal in this first round matchup.
For Washington State, the duo of TJ Bamba and Mouhamed Gueye should have a field day against the Golden Bears. However, it is imperative that Washington State gets off to a fast start in this game. Failure to do so could see them get put into a more stressful situation than anticipated, making an upset a possibility out of nowhere.
