The Aztecs, with a record of 6-2, are looking to extend their winning streak after their recent 74-57 victory over San Diego.
The Cal Baptist Lancers, with a record of 5-4, are seeking to bounce back from their last game, a 74-59 loss to UCF. Dominique Daniels Jr. leads the Lancers in scoring and assists, averaging 21.7 points per game (PPG) and 3.1 assists per game (APG).

Miles Byrd contributes with 12.3 PPG and a team-high 5.1 RPG, while BJ Davis adds 12.3 PPG and a team-high 2 steals per game (SPG). The Aztecs have been strong defensively, allowing only 34.6% field goal percentage to their opponents, which ranks them first in the nation.
The betting odds favor the Aztecs, with a line of San Diego State -15.5 and an over/under of 136. Historically, the Aztecs have been dominant at home, winning 23 of their last 24 night games against non-conference opponents at Viejas Arena. This trend, combined with their current form, suggests a strong advantage for the Aztecs in this matchup.
The game is scheduled to start at 10:00 PM ET and will be available for live streaming and TV broadcast. The Aztecs are expected to continue their winning streak as they prepare for their upcoming Mountain West conference games.
