What to Know

The Idaho State Bengals' road trip will continue as they head to Reese Court at 5 p.m. ET Saturday to face off against the Eastern Washington Eagles. Both teams come into the contest bolstered by wins in their previous games.

After constant struggles on the road, the Bengals have finally found some success away from home. They walked away with a 79-70 win over the Idaho Vandals on Thursday.

Meanwhile, Eastern Washington beat the Weber State Wildcats 75-67 on Thursday.

Idaho State have to know they'll be fighting an uphill battle given the 10.50 point spread they are up against. Those betting on them against the spread shouldn't have high expectations for them since the squad is 5-10 ATS when expected to lose.

The wins brought the Bengals up to 5-17 and the Eagles to 12-12. Two defensive stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: Idaho State has allowed their opponents to shoot 46.70% from the floor on average, which is the 12th highest shooting percentage allowed in college basketball. Eastern Washington has experienced some struggles of their own as they are 45th worst in college basketball in points allowed per game, with 74 on average. It's possible one of these Achilles' heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
