March 6, 2026
img9:00 PM Eastern

Portland is 2-12 SU, 3-11 ATS when not playing at home this season. This includes a 104-74 loss at Washington State on Jan. 31. The Cougars also defeated Portland, 67-62, on the road on Dec. 28. Altogether, Washington State has beaten the Pilots 10 straight times. Portland is playing without rest for the first time since November after defeating Pepperdine, 77-68, yesterday in the first round of the West Coast Conference Tournament that is being held at a neutral site in Las Vegas. This is a small gym venue that is foreign to WCC teams and thus advantageous for an UNDER. The Pilots went UNDER for the ninth time in their last 13 games against Pepperdine yesterday. Washington State is the more rested team, having earned a bye into today's second round of the tournament. The Cougars are not a strong defensive team. However, Portland is 250th in scoring and 343rd in 3-point shooting. Washington State has held Portland to an average of 68 points a game during the two meetings this season. Take Washington State and the UNDER.
