WSU is coming into this game with a 16-13 record overall and they are 10-6 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. This will be the 19th conference matchup on their schedule this year and they are currently 9-9 in their conference games this season.

Oregon State has not been playing very well coming into this game and they are currently the worst team in the Pac-12 this season. They have lost their last 15 straight games and they have been awful against conference opponents with a 1-17 record in those games. They have been just as bad on the road this season as they have not won a game yet sitting at 0-10 on the road and they are going up against a WSU team that is only 10-6 at home but has been playing much better than Oregon State has been. WSU has won 2 of their last 3 games and they are coming off of a win against this same Oregon State team in their last game. WSU beat Oregon State on the road 103-97 but they should have an easier time trying to shake them here at home. Oregon State has been awful and after losing at home to this WSU team, they cannot be trusted to get the win here on the road. WSU is going to win this game at home and they should be able to spread the gap in this game and win by double digits.

“Big step forward from the other day. I thought this was as collective as we’ve been for the entire game for quite some time as far as staying together and fight through some things. Then playing the way we’re supposed to play.” - Wayne Tinkle on his team’s loss against WSU.

 

 

"We kind of wilted a little bit. They took us out of our stuff and it's tough on the road in that situation. Hopefully we can get better." - Kyle Smith on his team’s loss against Washington.
