Stephen Nover's CBB Big Ticket Saturday
(NCAAB) George Washington vs. UC San Diego,
Point Spread: 2.00 | -115.00 UC San Diego (Home)
Result: Win
San Diego earned some respect upsetting California on the road as a double-digit 'dog this past Tuesday. The Tritons have had ample time to rest and prepare for their opening home game.

George Washington, though, is making the long trip West. The Colonials are playing for the third time in five days so there is a fatigue factor.

The Colonials hung tough against 21st-ranked Maryland on Thursday, losing 71-64. They weren't so impressive in their opener, though, defeating St. Francis (PA), 75-72, as 6 1/2-point home favorites.

That dropped George Washington's point spread mark to 3-13 when favored. The Colonials also have failed to cover in seven of their last 10 road contests.
