The Fresno State Bulldogs and the Weber State Wildcats meet in college hoops action from the Dee Events Center on Thursday night.
The Fresno State Bulldogs will be out to bounce back from a 55-50 loss to Utah in their last game. Orlando Robinson leads the Bulldogs in scoring and rebounding with 18.2 PPG and 8.2 RPG as the Bulldogs’ lone double-digit scorer so far this season while also logging 2.7 APG. Jordan Campbell, Jemari Baker and Isaiah Hill each have 8+ PPG with Hill leading the Bulldogs in assists with 2.8 APG this season. As a team, Fresno State is averaging 66.3 PPG on 43.9% shooting from the field, 29.5% from three and 74% from the foul line while allowing 55.9 PPG on 39.3% shooting from the field and 32.7% from three this season.
The Weber State Wildcats will look to bounce back from an 89-71 home loss to BYU last time out. Koby McEwen leads the Wildcats in scoring with 16.4 PPG while Seikou Sisoho-Jawara leads the Wildcats in assists, logging 12.1 PPG as well as 3.1 APG. Dillon Jones has 13.4 PPG with a team-high 10.4 RPG to average a double-double per game and led Weber State on the glass and Jamison Overton has 11.4 PPG to make up the group of double-digit scorers for Weber State so far this season. As a team, Weber State is averaging 77.6 PPG on 47.8% shooting from the field, 31.1% from three and 73.2% from the foul line while allowing 68.4 PPG on 42.1% shooting from the field and 35.5% from three this season.
Fresno State is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games overall and 9-23-1 ATS in their last 33 games against a team with a winning record while the under is 6-1 in their last 7 games against a team with a winning percentage above .600. Weber State is 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games overall and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 home games while the over is 4-0 in their last 4 games following an ATS loss.
This is a bit of a tricky one as Fresno State’s a solid team, but all of their success has come at home. The Dee is one of the more underappreciated home court advantages in all of college basketball and I think the Wildcats parlay that into a win and cover in this one.
