The SMU Mustangs will play the Washington State Cougars in this college basketball matchup scheduled for Sunday afternoon in the second round of the NIT.

The SMU Mustangs are coming off of a 10 point win against Nicholls State in their last time out. Marcus Weathers and Michael Weathers each had 16 points in the first round NIT win. Kendric Davis had 10 in the win for the Mustangs.

The SMU Mustangs are led in scoring by Kendric Davis who averages 19.4 points and 3.8 rebounds for this team. Marcus Weathers averages 12.5 points and 7.4 rebounds a game for this team. Emmanuel Bandoumel is the third leading scorer for the Mustangs as he averages 10.8 points a game for this team.

The Mustangs are averaging 74.4 points per game on 44.6% shooting from the field. They are allowing opponents to score 67.4 points per game. They are shooting 74.4% from the free throw line.

The Washington State Cougars are coming off of a 13 point win against Santa Clara in their last time out. Tyrell Roberts had 23 points as Washington State beat Santa Clara in the first round of the NIT. Efe Abogidi had 13 points for Washington State in the win.

The Washington State Cougars are led in scoring by Michael Flowers who averages 13.8 points and 3.4 rebounds for this team. Tyrell Roberts averages 11.4 points and 2.5 rebounds a night. Noah Williams is the third leading scorer for the Cougars as he averages 9.8 points a game for this team.

The Cougars are averaging 71.6 points per game on 40.8% shooting from the field. They are allowing opponents to score 64.9 points per game. They are shooting 74.6% from the free throw line.

Although the Mustangs are 4-14 ATS in their last 18 Sunday games, I think they win and cover here as they easily should’ve been in the big dance this March. The Mustangs are 1-8 ATS in their last 9 games as a road underdog and are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games following a ATS win. I like SMU to win and cover here.

The pick in this article is the opinion of the writer, not a PickDawgz site consensus.
