Dons vs Beavers
Beavers Look to Defend Home Court Against Dons
San Francisco @ Oregon State
February 26 | 11:00pm ET | Gill Coliseum
Grade B+: Oregon State Moneyline
Oregon State’s defensive strength, allowing just 64.6 points per game, will be a key factor as they take on the high-scoring San Francisco Dons. The Beavers have protected home court well this season, boasting a strong record at Gill Coliseum. Meanwhile, the Dons, led by Malik Thomas’s 20.3 points per game, have been efficient offensively but will be challenged by Oregon State’s ability to control tempo. With moneyline odds favoring Oregon State at -165, the Beavers’ defense and home-court advantage make them the smart pick. This prediction receives a grade of B+, as Oregon State’s consistency at home gives them an advantage, but San Francisco’s offensive firepower keeps it competitive.
Grade B+: Oregon State -3.5
Oregon State’s defensive efficiency, allowing just 64.6 points per game, will be tested as they take on a well-balanced San Francisco offense led by Malik Thomas, who is averaging 20.3 points per contest. The Beavers have been dominant at home, posting a 15-2 record, while the Dons have struggled at times on the road, sitting at 5-5 away from home. San Francisco’s offense has the ability to keep things competitive, but Oregon State’s ability to dictate tempo and lock down defensively should allow them to cover the -3.5 spread. This prediction receives a grade of B+, as the Beavers’ defense and home-court edge give them an advantage, but San Francisco’s ability to score efficiently keeps the game within reach.
Grade A-: Under 142 Points
Oregon State has thrived at home behind its strong defensive identity, holding opponents to just 64.6 points per game. Meanwhile, San Francisco’s balanced scoring attack, paced by Malik Thomas’s 20.3 points per contest, has kept them competitive in nearly every matchup. However, with the Beavers controlling tempo and prioritizing defensive execution, points could be at a premium. The over/under is set at 142, and with Oregon State’s ability to slow the game down and force tough shots, the under is the best bet. This prediction receives a grade of A-, as the Beavers’ defensive presence suggests a slower-paced, low-scoring battle.
