Who's Playing

Northern Kentucky @ Washington State

Current Records: Northern Kentucky 5-4; Washington State 3-4

What to Know

The Washington State Cougars have the luxury of staying home another game and will welcome the Northern Kentucky Norse at 9 p.m. ET Dec. 7 at Wallis Beasley Performing Arts Coliseum. The Cougars are out to stop a five-game streak of losses at home.

It was close but no cigar for Washington State as they fell 67-65 to the Utah Utes on Sunday. The contest was as close as the oddsmakers predicted, but Washington State had been the slight favorite coming in. Guard Justin Powell had a pretty forgettable game, playing for 39 minutes with 4-for-16 shooting.

Speaking of close games: NKU sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 60-56 victory over the Robert Morris Colonials this past Saturday.

This next game looks promising for Washington State, who are favored by a full 12 points. They have failed bettors playing the spread in their past two games, so buyers beware.

Washington State is now 3-4 while the Norse sit at 5-4. NKU is 3-1 after wins this year, and the Cougars are 1-2 after losses.
