| CBB | (871) Weber State at (872) Portland State: Total | 10:00pm EST - Mar 2/2026 |
The PLAY: Total Under 143.5 (-115)
Weber State–Portland State goes Under because Portland State’s home floor has turned into a defensive grinder, and the matchup numbers from both sides point toward a slower, lower‑efficiency game than this total suggests. Portland State has allowed just 61.5 ppg across their last six home games, and those contests have averaged only 129.2 total points, a full two buckets below this number. Weber State brings a strong offense on paper, but their Big Sky games tighten up on the road, and Portland State’s conference defense has been excellent—holding league opponents to 70.1 ppg, 41.7% shooting, and the lowest opponent FGA (54.6) in the conference. Weber State’s own defensive profile also supports a lower game: they allow 79.1 ppg in league play but force long possessions, ranking top‑five in opponent turnovers and limiting second‑chance looks. The recent form between these teams backs it up as well—Portland State’s last three home games finished 67–55, 77–67, and 74–68, all well under this number, and the ESPN matchup projection lists a total in the mid‑140s with both teams trending toward slower tempos in conference play . With Portland State’s home defensive surge, Weber State’s road scoring dips, and the building consistently producing totals in the 120s and 130s, Under 143.5 fits the matchup cleanly.
