EASTERN WASHINGTON SPREAD. The Eagles are getting no respect here. Eastern Washington comes from a weaker conference but was the #1 seed in that conference. After getting stunned in the quarterfinals, the Eagles are angry here and will make up for it here in the NIT. You know Eastern Washington will want to show up big here against an in-state Pac-12 opponent. This is a chance for a smaller school to show up against a big brother school so to speak. The result should be this game being decided by a single digit margin. Washington State drilled the Eagles by 26 earlier this season and Eastern Washington has not forgotten. They will be much more competitive in the rematch.
