Fresno State and Washington state clash here for a neutral-site tilt at the Acrisure Holiday Invitational in Palm Desert, California. Fresno State has a winning record despite playing three of five on the road. They've played well under new coach Vance Walberg, coming from 17 points down at Long Beach State to win, 72-69, as a +3.5 underdog. They also covered in a close game at UC-Santa Barbara as a +12 dog. They have a lot of height with 6-5 guard Amar Augillard (18.4 ppg) leading in scoring, and a frontcourt of 6-7 junior Mykell Robinson (11 ppg, 6 rpg), 6-9 freshman Elijah Price (8 rebounds per game), and 7-1 center Mor Seck (6.5 rebounds per game). Price and Seck are in the top 20 in the nation in offensive rebounds per contest. Fresno State is on a 9-7 ATS run, including 7-3 ATS on the road. They lean on defense as the offense shoots 39.9% from the field and 25.9% from long range. They match up well against a Washington State squad that turns the ball over 15.5 times per game. Washington State has played only one game away from home, losing and failing to cover in a 76-66 final vs. Iowa on a neutral court, shooting 39.4% and turning it over 18 times. Washington State is on a 20-13 run UNDER the total, so back the big dog in a defensive duel. Play Fresno State + the UNDER.
