Santa Clara heads out on the road for this NIT opener. Santa Clara is all about offense, with the defense last in the West Coast Conference in points surrendered (77.6 points per game) and the second-worst at defending the three-pointer (.371). They played at Cal of the Pac 12 in December and lost 72-60 to a Bears' squad that ended up 12-20. Washington State swept Cal in three meetings, 65-57, 68-64, and 66-59. The NIT is a big deal for Washington State, its first postseason tournament in 11 years when they were led by Klay Thompson. Washington State is 12-7 straight up at home this season and is a perfect 3-0 in Pullman versus Santa Clara. The wagering value is on the home team to win the game. Play Washington State on the moneyline.
