Meredith Spelbring — CSUB 61, Idaho 55
Although both teams are struggling to get their feet under themselves, Idaho is just not there yet. With so many guys still out and dealing with lingering injuries, this team will need a bit of time before they find much success. It will happen, but just not this weekend.
Chris Deremer — CSUB 70, Idaho 60
Both teams will be desperate to try and pick up a win on Saturday, with neither team finding a win in the month of December yet. The Roadrunners have always posed a difficult matchup for the Vandals, and Saturday night will be no exception. Expect this game to stay close throughout, but ultimately CSU Bakersfield will go on a run to seal the win.
Zack Kellogg— CSUB 72, Idaho 65
With 10 days between Saturday’s match up and the Battle of the Palouse, Idaho should be well-rested and hopefully have more than seven healthy players. The Roadrunners have had a whole week off though since their loss to Ole Miss. This game will come down to rebounds. CSUB has out-rebounded its opponents by around 10 a night while averaging over five more rebounds than Idaho this season. Fatigue will be the main obstacle for the Vandals along with winning on the glass.
Max Rothenberg — CSUB 55, Idaho 25
Both teams will be chasing this December victory, but the only victory Idaho’s squad will come away with is the upcoming academic break. While Idaho has already played several games this season, you couldn’t tell by looking at the scores. In fact, maybe Thanksgiving break hasn’t ended yet. In their desperation to take down the Roadrunners, the real Looney Tune is our own team.
