The Idaho Vandals and the Fresno State Bulldogs meet in college basketball action from the Save Mart Center on Monday night.

The Idaho Vandals come into this game on the heels of a 95-85 win over subdivision George Fox last time out. Trevante Anderson leads the Vandals with 24 PPG and 7.5 APG while Mikey Dixon has 16 PPG and Nolan Bertain and Rashad Smith each have 12 PPG with Bertain logging a team-high 8 RPG while Smith has 5 RPG this season. Philip Pepple Jr. also has 11.5 PPG and 7 RPG for the Vandals as well this season. As a team, Idaho is averaging 92 PPG on 53.6% from the field, 50% from three and 69% from the foul line while allowing 90 PPG on 48.9% shooting from the field and 39.5% from three this season.

The Fresno State Bulldogs will be looking to build on an 84-60 beatdown of LIU in their last game. Orlando Robinson leads Fresno State, averaging a double-double per game with team-highs of 16.5 PPG and 11.5 RPG while Jordan Campbell has 14.5 PPG and 5.5 RPG. Isaiah Hill has 11 PPG and a team-high 4 APG and Anthony Holland is chipping in 10.5 PPG with 7.5 RPG to make up the group of double-digit scorers for Fresno State in their two games so far this season. Jemari Baker Jr. also has 9 PPG and 4 RPG as well this season for the Bulldogs. As a team, Fresno State is averaging 79 PPG on 48.3% shooting from the field, 31.4% from three and 68.3% from the foul line while allowing 57 PPG on 37.3% shooting from the field and 39.5% from three this season.

Idaho is 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games as an underdog and 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games overall while the under is 4-1 in their last 5 games against a team with a winning record. Fresno State is 1-3-1 ATS in their last 5 Monday games and 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games overall while the under is 4-1 in their last 5 games against a team with a winning record.

I get the case that could be made either way here as Idaho hung tight with Long Beach State and Fresno State obliterated LIU. With that said though, I’m siding with the over. I don’t know how we get a total of 139 in this game. Idaho has had a history of struggling defensively and there is a lot of talent on this Fresno State team that can get into the 80s and 90s if Idaho continues to play matador defense. On the other side though, 60 points even from Idaho would feel like more than enough as I think Fresno ends up in the 80s so in a game I see hitting 145 or 150 at the very least, give me the over.
