Boise State vs Utah State Prediction 2/26/25 College Basketball Picks Today

In this article, we will formulate a Boise State vs Utah State Prediction for this college basketball game on Wednesday,  February 26th, at the ExtraMile Arena. Let’s take a look at a Boise State Broncos vs Utah State Aggies Pick. 

When these two teams faced off on January 11th, Utah State secured the 81-79 victory. 

Utah State is the Real Deal 

Utah State is the real deal, and they are coming off with another big victory in the last game. Utah State scored 79 points against San Diego State, and that was enough for the eight-point victory. Dexter Akanno had a huge game, putting up 26 points and five rebounds. Three different players put up at least 18 points. It was much of the same two games ago against San Jose State, and they picked up the 105-57 victory. Five different players put up at least 11 points to pick up the win.

Utah State sits with a 24-4 record overall and away from home they have gone 7-2. Utah State is averaging 82.5 points per game and they have been running up the score against mostly everyone. One of the reasons for so much success has been the shooting, hitting 49.72 percent of their shots. Ian Martinez has been the top player, averaging 17.3 points while shooting 45.4 percent from the field and 38.5 percent from behind the three-point line. In this game, Boise State is going to need the defense to be better. 

Can Boise State Win the Third Straight Game?

Boise State has some confidence heading into this game and they have won two straight games. Two games ago against New Mexico, Boise State secured the 86-78 victory, and in the last game against Nevada, they secured the 70-69 victory. Boise State almost blew the game late, but they just held on for the victory. Forward Andrew Meadow put up 24 points, four rebounds, and one assist. Three different players put up at least 14 points. It’s going to need to be a balanced attack here. 

Boise State has a 19-8 overall record and 14-12 against the spread. Its defense has been its strength this season, and it gives up 66.3 points per game, which is 39th in the league. As a team, it shoots 47.16 percent from the field, and it has done a good job of taking efficient shots. Tyson Degenhart is averaging 18.2 points while shooting 51.5 percent from the field and 30.4 percent from deep.
