Washington State and Southern Utah both come in off ugly starts, which usually pushes games toward lower totals — both clubs are struggling to run clean offense and protect the ball. Washington State’s home court will slow things down; the Cougars are more likely to grind possessions than blow the roof off, and Southern Utah hasn’t shown the firepower to force a run‑and‑gun shootout.

Southern Utah’s attack is thin and turnover‑prone. Elijah Duval is their primary playmaker, but the supporting cast hasn’t converted possessions into efficient shots; Jaiden Feroah spins boards for them, yet the team lacks consistent scoring depth beyond a couple role players. After a heavy loss to Gonzaga and more recent mistakes, the Thunderbirds look like a team that will produce long, low‑efficiency possessions rather than quick scoring bursts.

Washington State’s offense hasn’t been smooth either. Emmanuel Ugbo and Tomas Thrastarson can generate points, but the Cougars are still ironing out chemistry and resisting turnovers. Their last few games show a tendency to settle for half‑court sets and to rely on paint scoring and contested perimeter looks rather than high‑volume transition opportunities that inflate totals.

The matchup mechanics push toward fewer possessions and lower shooting percentages. WSU’s length and interior focus will limit offensive rebounds and easy second‑chance points for Southern Utah, while the Thunderbirds’ lack of playmaking reduces the number of clean drives and assisted baskets that pad team scoring. Fewer offensive rebounds and more contested attempts equals a suppressed combined score.

Game script I expect: Washington State opens with deliberate sets, using Ugbo to clear space and Thrastarson to find scoring lanes. Southern Utah will struggle to convert in rhythm, turning possessions into long shot-clock scenarios rather than quick answers. Late in the game both teams are likely to shorten rotations and protect possessions, which further depresses scoring pace.

I’m taking the Under 158.5 at -110. With both teams leaking possessions, offensive inconsistencies on display, and matchup factors that reduce second‑chance and transition scoring, the most likely outcome lands under the number.
