What to Know

Get ready for a Big Sky battle as the Sacramento State Hornets and the Idaho State Bengals will face off at 7 p.m. ET Saturday at The Hornets Nest. Both teams took a loss in their last game, so they'll have plenty of motivation to get the 'W.'

Sacramento State was close but no cigar on Thursday as they fell 52-49 to the Weber State Wildcats. The defeat was just more heartbreak for the Hornets, who fell 50-48 when the teams previously met last month.

Meanwhile, Idaho State came up short against the Portland State Vikings on Thursday, falling 79-70.

Sacramento State is the favorite in this one, with an expected 4-point margin of victory. Now might not be the best time to take Sacramento State against the spread since they've let down bettors for the past six consecutive games.
