The California Golden Bears are on an unfortunate 0-4 start to the 2022-23 NCAA Basketball season and will take on the Texas State Bobcats, who are 2-2 so far this season.
The Golden Bears are part of the PAC-12 Conference and will host this game at the Haas Pavilion on Monday (November 21) whereas the Bobcats are first in the Sun Belt Conference. The Bears are eager to register a win on their account and set the season going. The Bobcats will arrive on the court positive, thinking they have a real chance tonight.
California Golden Bears vs Texas State Bobcats: Betting Odds
The Golden Bears are having the worst possible start to the season. The opening four games have been losses and the path moving forward looks tough at the moment. Their opening game was a home defeat for them against the UC Davis Aggies (75-65), followed by another home defeat against the Kansas State Wildcats (63-54).
Their third game was an away loss to the UC San Diego Tritons (64-62) and their fourth game was a defeat back at home against the Southern Jaguars (74-66). The team needs a series of consecutive wins if they are to revive their season.
The Bobcats are still decent with two wins and two losses so far. Their season started with an away loss to the Washington State Cougars (83-61), followed by a win in the second against the MACU Evangels (71-53). Their third game was a win against the Rhode Island Rams (70-66), and then a loss in the fourth game against the UTSA Roadrunners (61-56).

California Golden Bears vs Texas State Bobcats: Prediction
Lars Theimann has been on a scoring spree for the home team even if the team has lost all their games thus far. He has been scoring in double-digits in every game and will be instrumental tonight as well. Others will have to contribute and help their team to victory.
The two teams have not played each other before in the league. The Bobcats are in a better position compared to the Golden Bears. However, the Bears are hosting the game and are more desperate for a win. This might come under the home team's favor. Expect a close encounter nevertheless.
Final Prediction: Golden Bears -2 (-110) & (-135)
