The Eastern Washington Eagles and the CSU-Northridge Matadors meet in college basketball action from the Matadome on Friday afternoon.
The Eastern Washington Eagles come into this game looking to add to a 111-71 win over subdivision Walla Walla in their last game. Linton Acliese leads the Eagles in scoring and rebounding with 20.3 PPG and 9.7 RPG while Steele Venters has 19 PPG with 3.7 RPG and 3.3 APG and Ethan Price has 14 PPG with 8.3 RPG and 3.3 APG as well. Rylan Bergersen has 10 PPG with 4.7 RPG and 4 APG to lead the Eagles in assists and cap off the group of double-digit scorers for Eastern Washington so far this season. Angelo Allegri also has 8.7 PPG with 6 RPG this season for EWU. As a team, Eastern Washington is averaging 87.7 PPG on 44.3% shooting from the field, 31.2% from three and 71.3% from the foul line while allowing 82 PPG on 43.3% shooting from the field and 28.6% from three this season.
The CSU-Northridge Matadors will be hoping to rebound from a 68-52 loss to North Dame in their last game. Atin Wright has 11 PPG as the lone double-digit scorer for CSUN so far this season while Darius Brown II has 9.5 PPG with team-highs of 4.5 RPG and 2.5 APG as well on the year. Miles Brookins has 8.5 PPG while Fidelis Okereke has 4.5 RPG as well this season. As a team, CSU-Northridge is averaging 50.5 PPG on 37.7% shooting from the field, 34.5% from three and 73.3% from the foul line while allowing 78.5 PPG on 53.1% shooting from the field and 36.2% from three this season.
Eastern Washington is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall and 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games following a win while the over is 11-0 in their last 11 road games. CSU-Northridge is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 home games and 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games following a loss while the under is 5-0 in their last 5 games overall.
This is an interesting matchup as CSUN has played a tough schedule up to this point and get a home game for the first time, but Eastern Washington is no slouch and is a solid offensive team. The Matadors played to their name, playing matador defense in the first two games and I think with this line being as low as it is, Eastern Washington is the play here.
