Idaho State’s year began on a sour note as they fell in their first two outings. First was a 55-48 loss to Arizona State, then came a 75-69 affair versus USC. Idaho State got their first win over Southern Oregon 87-63 in game three, however.

On Saturday in their matchup versus San Diego, the Bengals were up by 10 points by halftime. Idaho State cruised on a 42-40 run from there for the 78-66 win. Isaiah Griffin led the team with 15 points and six rebounds, while Dylan Darling added 12 points, eight boards, and eight assists.

Idaho State vs CSU Fullerton Prediction

I’ll lean toward Idaho State here, but you could certainly call it either way. On Saturday the Bengals posted a double-digit win over San Diego, their second consecutive game with at least 78 points. Idaho State shot 44.1 percent from the field with 39 rebounds in that one but did have 16 turnovers in a pretty sloppy game overall.

Over on the CSU Fullerton side, they’re coming off a demoralizing road loss to Oregon State. The Titans imploded in the second half there, eventually shooting just 33.3 percent from the field with 13 turnovers. CSUF has now scored 53 or fewer points in three straight games. Monday’s game shouldn’t be such a mismatch on paper, though.
