What to Know

A Big Sky battle is on tap between the Idaho State Bengals and the Sacramento State Hornets at 8 p.m. ET this past Saturday at Reed Gym. Idaho State will be strutting in after a victory while Sacramento State will be stumbling in from a defeat.

Things were close when the Bengals and the Northern Colorado Bears clashed this past Thursday, but Idaho State ultimately edged out the opposition 61-58.

Meanwhile, Sacramento State lost to the Weber State Wildcats on the road by a decisive 65-50 margin.

Idaho State is the favorite in this one, with an expected 4.5-point margin of victory. But bettors beware: they are only 1-3 against the spread when favored.

Idaho State's win brought them up to 6-18 while the Hornets' loss pulled them down to 6-16. A pair of offensive stats to keep an eye on: The Bengals are stumbling into the matchup with the 17th fewest points per game in college basketball, having accrued only 63.5 on average. Sacramento States have had an even harder time: they are 16th worst in college basketball in points per game, with only 63.4 on average. It's possible one of these Achilles' heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
