Meanwhile, there's no place like home for Oregon State, who bounced back after a tough loss on the road two weeks ago. They took their game on Saturday with ease, bagging a 90-57 victory over UC Davis. The Beavers have made a habit of sweeping their opponents off the court, having now won five contests by 19 points or more this season.

Saturday's match is shaping up to be a masterclass in shooting: Idaho has been dynamite from deep this season, having drained 37.3% of their threes per game. However, it's not like Oregon State struggles in that department as they've made 38.9% of their threes this season. Given these competing strengths, it'll be interesting to see how their clash plays out.

Idaho and Oregon State pleased both fans and bettors in their last matchups by winning and covering the spread. Going forward, Oregon State is the favorite in this one, as the experts expect to see them win by 15 points. They might be worth a quick bet since they're sitting on a four game streak of covering the spread when expected to win.
