Portland State @ Idaho

Current Records: Portland State 6-9; Idaho 6-10

What to Know

The Portland State Vikings' road trip will continue as they head to ICCU Arena at 5 p.m. ET Saturday to face off against the Idaho Vandals. The teams split their matchups last year, with Idaho winning the first 84-79 on the road and the Vikings taking the second 79-68.

On Thursday, Portland State lost to the Eastern Washington Eagles on the road by a decisive 92-80 margin.

Meanwhile, it was close but no cigar for the Vandals as they fell 85-83 to the Sacramento State Hornets on Thursday. The defeat was just more heartbreak for Idaho, who fell 57-54 when the teams previously met last March.

Barring any buzzer beaters, Portland State is expected to win a tight contest. They have failed bettors playing the spread in their past two games, so buyers beware.

These two teams will surely be fighting tooth and nail to get back into the win column after losses this week. We'll see which team satisfies their hunger and which team leaves with an empty stomach.
