West Virginia vs BYU Prediction 2/11/25 College Basketball Picks Today

In this article, we will formulate a West Virginia vs BYU Prediction for this college basketball game on Tuesday, February 11th, at the WVU Coliseum. Let’s take a look at a BYU Cougars vs West Virginia Mountaineers pick. 

BYU Has Lost Two Games in a Row

BYU has lost two games in a row, and they are suddenly struggling. Two games ago against Arizona, BYU scored 74 points, but the defense gave up 85 points. In the last game against Cincinnati, BYU scored only 66 points while the defense gave up 84 points. BYU shot 47.1 percent from the field and 34.5 percent from deep, but they allowed Cincinnati to shoot 58.6 percent from the field. Richie Saunders put up 15 points, two assists, and one rebound. In this game, the defense needs to be better. 

BYU currently sits with a 15-8 record overall, and they have gone 11-11-1 against the spread. BYU is averaging 80 points, while their defense is giving up 69.2 points per game. The offense is ranked 51st in the league while the defense is ranked 97th. They are shooting 48.11 percent from the field which is 33rd in the league. They are shooting 36.91 percent from deep, and they are shooting 36.91 percent which is 53rd in the league. In this game, hitting a few three-pointers more than normal would really improve their chances. Richie Saunders is averaging 15.1 points while shooting 50.6 percent from the field while shooting 44 percent from behind the three-point line. 

West Virginia Looks for Second Straight Win

West Virginia has been a little inconsistent the last couple of weeks but they are coming off a victory in the last game. West Virginia scored 72 points while the defense gave up 61 points, and that was enough for the 11-point victory over the Utah Utes. The Mountaineers shot 48.1 percent from the field and 37.5 percent from behind the three-point line. Two games ago against TCU the offense scored only 60 points while the defense gave up 65 points per game. 

West Virginia currently sits with a 15-8 record overall and they have gone 13-10 against the spread. At home this season, they sit with a 10-3 record overall. West Virginia is averaging 69.4 points while their defense is giving up 63.6 points per game. The offense is ranked 296th in the league while the defense is ranked 16th. The defense is going to need to be lights out here. Guard Javon Small is averaging 18.9 points while shooting 42.4 percent from the field and 35.8 percent from behind the three-point line. 

West Virginia vs BYU Prediction

BYU away from home this season has gone 2-5 straight up and I just don’t trust them with the way they have played heading into this game. BYU gave up 84 points two games ago and I don’t trust them here. West Virginia is only averaging 69.4 points per game but against this BYU defense they are going to go above that here. Javon Smith is going to have a big game here, and West Virginia is going to end up covering the spread here.
