Seattle U vs Cal State Fullerton Analysis
Seattle U heads into their game against Cal State Fullerton coming off a hard fought loss at Washington in which they led by five points at one point in the second half before the Huskies turned up the defense in which the Redhawks only scored five points over an 11 minute span.
As a result they failed to cover as 4.5-point underdogs and head into their matchup tonight against the Titans as 9-point favorites. Cal State Fullerton is coming off two bad losses to Utah Tech and North Dakota.
Both of which they were favorites to win. Are the Redhawks up to the tough task covering as such large favorites in this WAC vs Big West showdown? Let’s see!
Titans Need To Tighten Up Defense
The Titans offense is at some sort of a stand still as they failed to score over 60 points in each of the last two games they were upset in. Some of that can be attributed to their slow pace of play but the face they rank 257th in two point field goal percentage and 313 in free throw percentage doesn’t help their cause.
They’re actually pretty solid shooting three pointers ranking 78th overall in 3pt field goal percentage. Cal State Fullerton’s defense is actually worse overall ranking 246th in adjusted defensive efficiency and 313th in effective field goal percentage allowed.
They’re led by senior guard Jalen Harris who averages 16 ppg but only scored nine and 15 points in each of the team’s last two games.
He’ll need to pick his scoring back up if the Titans want any shot of winning. Other key contributors include Latrell Wrightsell Jr., Vincent Lee and Max Jones all averaging double digit scoring numbers.
Seattle U Success From 3pt Range
We’ve discussed Seattle U in the past as an under the radar team that could see some success in the WAC this season. They like to launch it from behind the 3pt line ranking 16th nationally in 3pt shots/total field goal attempts ratio this season.
They rank 81st in 3pt field goal percentage and 93rd in effective field goal percentage letting us know that although they like to shoot it deep often, they’re likely open, good looking shot attempts.
On defense they’re great at defending the 3pt shot as well ranking 20th in 3pt field goal percentage allowed. They only shot 25% from three against Washington though in which leading scorer Cameron Tyson shot 4-12 from downtown.
Seattle U vs Cal State Fullerton Prediction
Washington’s perimeter defense (16th nationally) is far superior to Cal State Fullerton (312th nationally) which will allow Seattle U to get their bearings straight again from beyond the arch.
I expect Seattle U to clamp down more on defense as well as they do rank 128th in adjusted defense efficiency.
Let’s take Seattle U to win by double digits as they score over 10 more ppg than Cal State Fullerton and allow nine points less per game while playing equal non-conference opponents up until this point in the season.
