Staff Predictions 12/5/17: Idaho vs Washington State

Hailey Stewart, Washington State- 83, Idaho- 67

With Wazzu fans just across the border, Cowan Spectrum is bound to be packed with a rowdy crowd on both sides Wednesday night. But, the Vandals will fall short against our Cougar enemies.

It will be a tight game on Idaho’s home court, and although both teams are running hot, the Cougs will over power the Vandals on offense and edge out the home team.

Washington State has seen some tough teams in the early weeks of play and found a way to win. Idaho is no cupcake team, but WSU will handle the Vandals on their own court.

Colton Clark, Washington State- 72, Idaho- 67

We finally get what we’ve been waiting for – a Battle of the Palouse featuring perhaps the best Wazzu and Idaho teams anyone’s seen in a while. It should be a competitive one, but the Cougs’ Franks and Flynn create an edge.

Zack Ozuna, Washington State- 86, Idaho- 78

A battle between two high-powered offenses will come down to which team can convert on more mistakes. Idaho has been susceptible to turnovers up to this point. Washington State will capitalize on more miscues — resulting in the Vandals loss. Cougars take the matchup.

Chris Deremer, Washington State- 66, Idaho- 60

Washington State defeated No. 21 Saint Mary’s a few weeks ago, and the way they played that game stickes with me. It’s going to be a tough battle, but unfortunately, it’s a Coug victory.

Jonah Baker, Idaho- 78, Washington State- 71

The Vandals’ slower pace of play grates on the Cougars and a packed house at the Spectrum helps push the Vandals to victory.

Joseph Sandoval, Washington State- 86, Idaho- 72

Washington State is too strong on the offensive side of the game and will be able to stop Idaho defensively. Victor Sanders will come up big for the Vandals, but it won’t be enough.
