Key Stats
Idaho St. Bengals
Coach Ryan Looney is in his sixth season as the Bengals head coach. Last season’s win total was the most for the Bengals since the 2020 season. They averaged 70.5 points per game, the most under Coach Looney, and allowed 70.1 points. That 70.1 mark was the second-best defensive mark under Looney. Idaho St. graduated four of their top five scorers from last year, leaving only Isaiah Griffin as the top player from a team that won two games in the Big Sky Tournament. Griffin averaged 7.7 points and 4.9 rebounds per game last year.
Arizona St. Sun Devils
Arizona St. had a disappointing campaign last season, as expectations were high after a very nice 2022-2023 season. Coach Bobby Hurley’s team averaged less than 70 points per game and allowed 74. That defensive mark was the most by a Sun Devils team since 2017-2018. Hurley shook up his roster with three transfers, including freshman Jayden Quaintance, a former five-star Kentucky commit.
Prediction
Today’s college basketball slate is short, but we spotted a burner line. Idaho St. is seeing 91% of the tickets and 74% of the money, moving the opening line of 20 down to its current 17.5. The Bengals are 6-4 ATS the spread in their last 10 away games and 6-4 ATS in their last 10 as an underdog. The Sun Devils were just 14-18 ATS last season and 4-6 ATS in their last 10 games as a favorite.
Last season, both teams played in close games, as evidenced by their points for and points allowed scoring metrics. We will take the points here and back the Idaho State Bengals to stay inside the number. You might also put a small play on the money line for an outright upset.
Final Pick: Idaho State +17.5 (-102)
