I’m looking at the under in this game. Idaho State took a loss against a Pepperdine team that I’m really not high on given how much talent the Waves lost, and they only scored 60 points in that game. Meanwhile, Seattle ended up with a loss against Washington State and didn’t look all that great offensively either if we’re sizing them up. I think this is a lower-scoring battle, so I’ll take the under in this one.
