Idaho State vs Seattle Prediction
Idaho State is coming into this game as a 3.5 point underdog with the current betting odds according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Idaho State played well in their last game keeping it close with Pepperdine but it just was not enough to win the game. Seattle got beat by WSU in their last game and that was not a close game as they lost by 10 points but what is even more alarming is the fact that they scored just 32 points in that game. They will have an easier time scoring here but still, Idaho State has been scoring more and their players are spreading the ball around more letting a few different scorers get involved. The best bet to place in this game is on Idaho State to cover the spread here as they will be able to score more points here and might even win the game.

Notable Quotes
“We’re not just rolling the ball out and playing basketball. We’re running a specific system and expecting all of our players to make all the right reads within it.” - Ryan Looney on the system he is trying to run there.
“We wanted the ball in Darrion’s hands, with him and Cam playing a two-man game. Darrion drove it, made an unbelievable read, and the pass to Cam was on the money. And Cam did what he does. He stepped into the shot, no hesitation and buried the game winner. First game back with Seattle U, first game back home and he hits the game winner. It’s special.” - Chris Victor on their win in their first game of the season.
