Fresno State @ Weber State

Current Records: Fresno State 9-3; Weber State 9-3

What to Know

The Weber State Wildcats and the Fresno State Bulldogs will compete for holiday cheer at 6 p.m. ET Thursday at Dee Events Center. Given that both teams suffered a loss in their last game, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this contest.

The matchup between the Wildcats and the Brigham Young Cougars on Saturday was not a total blowout, but with Weber State falling 89-71 at home, it was darn close to turning into one. A silver lining for Weber State was the play of forward Dillon Jones, who posted a double-double on 20 points and 11 rebounds.

Meanwhile, Fresno State was within striking distance but couldn't close the gap on Tuesday as they fell 55-50 to the Utah Utes. Guard Isaiah Hill wasn't much of a difference maker for Fresno State; Hill finished with only nine points on 4-for-13 shooting and turned the ball over four times in his 36 minutes on the court.

Barring any buzzer beaters, Weber State is expected to win a tight contest. They have been consistent moneymakers against the spread when favored (5-2), so they might be worth a quick bet.

The losses bumped both teams down to an identical 9-3. The Wildcats are 1-1 after losses this season, the Bulldogs 2-0.
