#2 seed Cal Baptist will face #1 seed Utah Valley in the Western Athletic Conference Tournament final. Cal Baptist is coming off an impressive performance against #3 seed Utah Tech, shooting 50% from the floor and out-rebounding the Trailblazers 37 to 28.

Cal Baptist is playing some great basketball right now and Dominique Daniels Jr. is coming off a monster 41-point performance. Daniels Jr. leads the Lancers with 23.2 points and 3.8 rebounds per game, and if the Wolverines want to win this game, they’re going to need to find a way to slow Daniels down. The Lancers don’t have the same type of depth as the Wolverines, which could make it difficult for Cal Baptist to keep this game close if Daniels Jr. struggles from the floor. The Wolverines have been the most balanced team in the WAC this season, averaging 80 points per game while allowing 68.6. Cal Baptist is averaging 73.3 points per game while allowing 67.8. Utah Valley is also extremely efficient from the floor, making 50.5% of its shots compared to the Lancers’ 43.3%. However, Cal Baptist does hold a slight edge on the glass.

If the Lancers want to pull off the upset, they’ll need to slow down Utah Valley’s interior presence and rely on Daniels Jr. to continue his strong play. In recent games, the Lancers have been playing slightly better defensively compared to the Wolverines, which could open up the door for Daniels Jr. and his team to take an early lead. Look for Cal Baptist to continue playing well — and while it may not win this game, it should be able to keep it close to the very end.
