Big West is California Dreamin'

From Anaheim starting Thursday, the Big West begins their conference tournament. Do you remember the Big West was the late game on ESPN's Big Monday back in the day? I do.

Anyway, UC-Irvine is the big favorite. They're 135th in KenPom. The next closest in the league is UC-Davis at 224. 

UC-Irvine did lose to Milwaukee 54-37 so that's awful. But they did challenge themselves out of league. Only Long Beach State played a tougher schedule. And trust me, LBSU played a schedule only a masochist would like. This is the Anteaters to lose.

The Pick: UC-Irvine
