The Portland State Vikings lock horns with the Eastern Washington Eagles in a Big Sky college basketball quarterfinal action.
The Portland State Vikings opened their postseason with a 71-67vwin versus Sacramento State to advance to the Big Sky quarterfinals. Portland State open a 40-25 lead after 20 minutes before holding off a late Hornets rally with a 22-15 edge at the line being the biggest difference.

The Eastern Washington Eagles head in to the Big Sky riding the momentum of a six game winning streak which helped the team to 4th in the conference. Eastern Washington outscore opponents 75-71 which were numbers that were generally reached.
The Eagles were a unique offense with a lone double digit scorer in Bogdan Bliznyuk who averaged 20.4 points and 6.9 rebounds on 51.3%. Jesse Hunt and Mason Peatling combined to give Eastern Washington 16.1 points and 12 rebounds with the team going as deep as nine.
Over is 22-6 in Portland State last 28 Thursday games and under is 8-3-1 in Portland State last 12 neutral site games. Over is 9-2 in the last 11 meetings and Portland State are 14-5 ATS in the last 19 meetings.
Portland State has had the upper hand ATS in this matchup but I think EWU has the most potential here…
