Expect the Anteaters to defend home court in style

Chattanooga

Mocs (15-3-28-9) VS Anteaters (17-3-32-6)

Apr 03, 2025 | 21:00 ET | Irvine, CA

UC Irvine
Moneyline Pick: UC Irvine (-180) - A
UC Irvine’s steady two-game winning streak continues to build confidence, while Chattanooga stumbles into this showdown with consecutive losses hanging over them. Despite the Anteaters’ center requiring extra physio after taking a hard knock last week, the supporting defense remains intact, and the team’s top scorer has historically excelled against Chattanooga’s zone. Meanwhile, the Mocs are missing their LW due to a muscle strain, creating a gap in transition plays they’ve relied on all season. With both squads surpassing the 41-game mark, the postseason race makes this home stand even more critical, and UC Irvine’s advantage appears stronger than ever. This selection earns an A grade, combining a favorable payout with a high degree of confidence (Sources: ESPN, NCAA, Team Websites). Odds and availability are subject to change.

Over/Under Pick: Over 147, (+110) - B+

UC Irvine’s starting guard, Devon Saunders, enters on a three-game winning streak alongside his teammates, aiming to capitalize on Chattanooga’s current two-loss slide. The Mocs have been forced to adjust after their power forward, sidelined by a lingering knee issue, created a gap in the post. Meanwhile, Chattanooga’s hot-shooting guard, who has historically tallied impressive scoring totals against the Anteaters, should help keep the offense humming. Combined with UC Irvine’s balanced attack and recent success exploiting teams with thin frontcourts, this matchup is primed for high scoring. A $100 wager on the Over at (+110) has the potential to return a solid profit, earning this pick a B+ grade. Citations: None. Odds and availability are subject to change.

Spread Pick: UC Irvine, -3.5 (-105) - B
UC Irvine’s experienced backcourt, confirmed to be fully active for this matchup, looks determined to extend its current two-game winning run, capitalizing on a Chattanooga squad that has recently stumbled in conference play. With one of the Mocs’ primary forwards nursing a nagging ankle concern and historically uneven results against West Coast opponents, the Anteaters appear poised to exploit defensive gaps and control the tempo on their home court. Although Chattanooga’s 15-3-28-9 record includes moments of brilliance earlier in the season, the surging 17-3-32-6 Anteaters have a track record of big late-season performances within their conference circle. Graded a B for both likelihood and decent return, this wager hinges on UC Irvine’s stingy perimeter defense and an aggressive rebounding edge to secure a likely cover of the spread.
