The Portland State Vikings typically have all the answers at home, but on Thursday the Eagles proved too difficult a challenge. Eastern Washington took down Portland State 92-80.

Meanwhile, it was a close one, but on Thursday Sacramento State sidestepped the Idaho Vandals for an 85-83 victory.

Eastern Washington is the favorite in this one, with an expected 5.5-point margin of victory. They have been consistent moneymakers against the spread when favored (4-1), so they might be worth a quick bet.

The wins brought the Eagles up to 9-7 and the Hornets to 9-6.
