There were 129 combined points when the teams met last November with Santa Barbara winning as a slight road 'dog. Look for a similar low-scoring game this time around.

The Gauchos struggled to score from the perimeter against Nebraska-Omaha at home in their opener missing 18 of 23 shots from 3-point range in a 74-60 loss. The Gauchos lost their top scorer from a year ago, two-time All-Big West Conference selection Michael Bryson.

Tempo is important when playing under. Don't expect a fast-paced game here. San Francisco's new coach is Kyle Smith, who takes over a new roster with a new coaching staff. Smith came from Columbia in the Ivy League so he's used to and favors a methodical, half-court style.
