UC Davis has a superior offense and stronger defense, particularly in steals and blocks. Ty Johnson's scoring ability and Niko Rocak’s rebounding should give them control on both ends of the floor. Expect the Aggies to exploit Fullerton’s defensive lapses and win comfortably. Final Score Prediction: UC Davis Aggies 80-61.
