The CSU-Northridge Matadors and the Boise State Broncos meet in college basketball action from the ExtraMile Arena on Tuesday night.
The CSU-Northridge Matadors will look to snap a four-game losing skid after an 82-66 loss to Central Michigan last time out. Dionte Bostick leads the Matadors in scoring and assists with 15.6 PPG and 3 APG along with 4.6 RPG while Atin Wright has 14.2 PPG and De’Sean Allen-Eikens has 10.4 PPG to cap off the trio of double-digit scorers for CSU-Northridge so far this season. Onyi Eyisi also has a team-high 7.4 RPG to lead the Matadors on the glass so far this season. As a team, CSU-Northridge is averaging 69.4 PPG on 41.5% shooting from the field, 27.8% from three and 73.7% from the foul line.
The Boise State Broncos will look to build on their three-game win streak after an 87-69 win over Utah Valley last time out. Tyson Degenhart has 15.3 PPG with 5.7 RPG while Marcus Shaver Jr. has 14.3 PPG with team-highs of 9 RPG and 4.2 APG to lead the Broncos in rebounding and assists. Max Rice has 11.2 PPG while Chibuzo Agbo has 10.3 PPG to cap off the group of double-digit scorers for Boise State up to this point in the season. As a team, Boise State is averaging 67.3 PPG on 43.2% shooting from the field, 29.8% from three and 69.7% from the foul line this season.
CSU-Northridge is 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games overall and 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games against a team with a winning record while the under is 4-0 in their last 4 games following an ATS loss. Boise State is 5-2 ATS in their last 7 home games and 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall while the under is 6-1 in their last 7 home games.
These are simply two teams headed in different directions as the Broncos have started to rattle off the wins while CSU-Northridge struggles to score and it’s resulting in loss after loss. It’s a big number here with Boise State, I don’t see anything changing the way that Boise State’s early on, especially not the Matadors. Give me Boise State in a beatdown.
