Props emphasize overs based on 2025 season averages against similar defenses.

Player Prop #1: Myles Rice / Over Points / 18.5 at -115 / 72% / Rice averages 20.3 PPG in home games this season with 28% usage; Southern Utah allows 22+ to opposing guards, supporting over via high shot volume and assist opportunities.
Player Prop #2: Jaylen Wells / Over Rebounds / 7.5 at -110 / 68% / Wells grabs 8.2 RPG overall in 2025, exploiting Southern Utah’s 35% defensive rebound rate weakness against forwards in fast-paced games.
Player Prop #3: Kyle Johnson / Under Points / 14.5 at -105 / 70% / Johnson held to 11.5 PPG on road vs top-100 defenses; Washington State’s elite perimeter D (top-60 efficiency) limits his 3PT attempts, favoring under.

⚖️ Analysis Summary

Public sentiment heavily favors Washington State, aligning with sharp money distribution and line movement, making a follow-the-public approach optimal rather than fading. No reverse line movement suggests consensus value on the favorite. Overall game scoring projects moderately high due to Washington State’s efficient offense clashing with Southern Utah’s porous defense, though turnover-prone play could cap totals.
