The Samford Bulldogs and the Oregon State Beavers meet in college basketball action from Gill Coliseum on Thursday night.
The Samford Bulldogs will be out to bounce back from a 77-55 loss to San Francisco in their last game. Ques Glover leads the Bulldogs in scoring and assists with 18.3 PPG and 2.7 APG while Jermaine Marshall and Wesley Cardet Jr. each have 12.3 PPG to make up the trio of double-digit scorers for the Bulldogs through their first three games of the year with Marshall leading the Bulldogs on the glass with 7.3 RPG as well this season. As a team, Samford is averaging 80 PPG on 42% shooting from the field, 33.3% from three and 75% from the foul line while allowing 74.7 PPG on 46.2% shooting from the field and 35.3% from three this season.
The Oregon State Beavers will be looking to bounce back from a 64-58 loss to Tulsa in their last game. Maurice Calloo leads the Beavers in scoring with 14.7 PPG along with 5 RPG while Warith Alatishe has 12 PPG with a team-high 7.3 RPG as well this season. Jarod Lucas has 10.3 PPG to make up the last member of the trio of double-digit scorers for Oregon State through three games so far this season while Gianni Hunt has a team-high 4.3 APG this season. As a team, Oregon State is averaging 60.3 PPG on 39.5% shooting from the field, 31.7% from three and 51% from the foul line while allowing 62.7 PPG on 40.4% shooting from the field and 28.2% from three this season.
Samford is 8-21-1 ATS in their last 30 road games and 10-27-2 ATS in their last 39 games as an underdog while the under is 4-0 in their last 4 games as a road underdog. Oregon State is 5-2-1 ATS in their last 8 home games and 8-1 ATS in their last 9 games following a loss while the under is 5-0 in their last 5 games overall.
Common logic would suggest that this is a prime spot for the Beavers to bounce back after a disappointing last couple of games against Tulsa and Iowa State against a Samford team that was beat down by their lone lined opponent this season. However, the Beavers just have come out flat this season and it’s hard to expect the Beavers to cover a double-digit spread when you’re putting up just 54 PPG in your last two games. I think Oregon State wins this game, but this is just too many points. Give me Samford and the points in this one.
