The Weber State Wildcats and the Southern Utah Thunderbirds meet in college basketball action from the America First Events Center on Monday night.

Koby McEwen leads the Wildcats in scoring with 17.2 PPG while Seikou Sisoho-Jawara leads the Wildcats in assists, logging 11.8 PPG as well as 2.8 APG. Dillon Jones has 12.8 PPG with a team-high 10.1 RPG to average a double-double per game and lead Weber State on the glass and JJ Overton has 12.6 PPG to make up the group of double-digit scorers for Weber State so far this season. As a team, Weber State is averaging 77.1 PPG on 47.1% shooting from the field, 31.5% from three and 73.4% from the foul line while allowing 68.7 PPG on 42% shooting from the field and 35.2% from three this season.

The Southern Utah Thunderbirds will also look to add to their own win over Idaho state after an 86-74 win over the Bengals last time out. John Knight III has a team-high 15.1 PPG and 4.3 APG with 4.2 RPG as well while Tevian Jones has 14 PPG with 4.4 RPG and Dre Marin has 11.1 PPG with 4.6 RPG and 2.6 APG this season.

Weber State is 6-1 ATS in their last 7 road games and 7-18 ATS in their last 25 games following a win by 20 or more points while the over is 6-0 in their last 6 road games. Southern Utah is 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games overall and 0-4 ATS in their last 4 home games while the over is 23-9 in their last 32 games following a win.

I get the case to be made for Southern Utah at home as the Thunderbirds are a better team than their 1-5 ATS home record would indicate. However, Weber State’s been as good as advertised on the road this season and I think this is a tight game if the Wildcats don’t win it outright. I’ll take the Wildcats and the free bucket in this one.
