There are a lot of positives on Cal St Northridge and the negatives for Idaho make it a best bet for tonight. The Matadors brought in HC Andy Newman from d2 San Bernardino where he took his team to the final four last season. He is an LA guy and went out recruiting transfers that are form the LA area and the vibe has been positive. The CS NRidge Matadors return 3 starters with the other two spots filled by a San Diego St transfer and a player he brought from Northridge will play man-to-man D and will be one of the fastest tempo teams this season.

Idaho has zero starters returning this season with a new HC and that usually spells trouble as a takes a few games to work into the system.
