Eastern Washington vs Oregon State Prediction 11/9/2026 Today’s College Basketball Picks

The Eastern Washington Eagles and the Oregon State Beavers will meet Monday night in a college basketball matchup at Gill Coliseum in Corvallis, Oregon. Let’s take a look at this game from a betting perspective.

Eastern Washington Eagles vs. Oregon State Beavers Prediction

In my view, this matchup favors the Eastern Washington staying within the number (17.5). Why? Oregon State has been one of the hottest teams in the country through the opening week of the 2026 season, opening the year with a perfect 2-0 record while averaging an impressive 99 points per game which ranks 13th nationally. The Beavers have also been outstanding defensively, allowing just 64.5 points per contest, ranking 79th in the nation.

Meanwhile, Eastern Washington has stumbled out of the gate with an 0-2 record. Most recently, the Eagles suffered a lopsided 98-71 loss to Oregon earlier this week. Through two games, Eastern Washington is averaging just 68 points per game while allowing 86 points per contest, which ranks 280th nationally. Additionally, the Beavers have won both of their games at home and now face an Eagles team that is 0-2 away from home this season.

While Eastern Washington should improve as the season progresses, this appears to be a difficult matchup against an Oregon State team that is playing exceptionally well on both ends of the court. With that said, I think the Eagles are good enough offensively to keep this one within the number. I am backing Eastern Washington plus the 17.5 points in this game.
