This line was 2.5 a couple hours ago and I am already seeing it fall to 1.5 at some books, so lets get it placed at +2. I have Wazzu as the better basketball team. Maybe I'm biased against a BYU team that just looked flat all year, but nothing about them really jumps off the paper to me. They do have a top 50 offense in efficiency but Washington State has the defense to keep up with them. BYU will be able to defend the three well, but WSU don't depend on the deep ball and will effectively get to the line to keep this close and maybe just win it. Grab the points for extra security.
BYU had success against the Pac-12 this season. The Cougars defeated Oregon, 81-49, and Utah, 75-64. I expect their high-scoring offense to give Washington State trouble. BYU should be able to cover this small number.
Thrilled this has sunk from BYU -3 -- it is a true home game, and playing in Provo is incredibly tough. BYU is 14-2 at home this season (4-1 ATS past five), routing both NIT opponents, and this is the finale there no matter what. The home Cougars are vastly better offensively and on the boards, while the road Cougars are a bit better defensively. The SportsLine Projection Model has BYU winning by seven. Not sure about that, but I think at least by two. WSU is 1-4 ATS in their last five following an ATS win.
