Looking for assistance, I really like the Jacks tonight and am thinking about a very large play for me, any thoughts.

I see the Jacks are reolling with the Bengals already starting to sleep walk through the season. This line is so small it almost scares me very much?

The following detail is not anything I can claim as my own but something I look to when making plays for GUIDANCE ONLY, I do not bet from this, again it is just a guide.

Two streaking teams heading in opposite directions collide in the
Gem State tonight, as the Northern Arizona Lumberjacks face the Idaho State
Bengals in a Big Sky Conference showdown. NAU has been relentless in its
assault against conference opponents. The Lumberjacks, who have won five games
in a row and seven of their last eight overall, have made it three straight
against BSC opponents and continue to feed the ball into the bucket. Against
league opponents, NAU is averaging 93 ppg and is shooting 57.6 percent from
the field. Needless to say, the Lumberjacks are red hot and are striking down
every team in their path. They are off to their best start in conference play
since the 1998-99 season, when they started 7-0 and ended up going 12-4. NAU's
11 wins has already matched last season's win total (11-17). Idaho State, on
the other hand, is in a free fall since getting off to a 7-2 start. The
Bengals have lost five in a row, including three straight to Big Sky foes.
ISU's most recent loss was a heartbreaking 107-106 setback to Sacramento State
on Thursday. The Bengals were 44-0 all-time when scoring at least 100 points
at home before that loss. Idaho State leads the all-time series between these
two schools, 41-35.

NAU's most recent win was a 88-82 victory over Weber State. Ruben Boykin, Jr.,
the team's leading scorer, tallied his fourth double-double of the season when
he poured in 15 points and ripped down a dozen rebounds. Boykin is netting
13.5 ppg this season, but he is averaging a double-double against conference
foes with 18.3 points and 11.7 caroms per contest. In his last eight games, he
has shot a sizzling 68 percent from the field. Boykin isn't the only
Lumberjack creating problems for opposing teams. Kelly Golob is scoring 12.9
points a night. Steven Sir is a lethal three-point shooter, as he is knocking
down 50.5 percent of his shots from beyond the arc in netting 11.8 ppg. Tyrone
Bazy's 10.8 ppg and team-high 23 steals adds yet another dimension to the
Lumberjacks' well-rounded attack.

Idaho State lost its fifth game in a row last time out, despite shooting 64.7
percent from the field. The Bengals also outrebounded Sacramento State, 34-19,
and 21-4 in the second half alone. Even with those totals, there is no
escaping the problems they've had at the defensive end of the court. ISU is
allowing 77.1 ppg this season and 80.6 ppg during the current losing streak.
They are turning the ball over almost 17 times a game. ISU can score, however,
as it is putting up 79.9 ppg on 44.9 percent shooting overall. Slim Millien,
who scored a career-high 31 points on Thursday, leads the team with 17.9 ppg.
He is shooting 57.7 percent from the field, is corralling 8.4 rpg and has
swatted 42 shots at a rate of three per game. Tim Henry (15.2 ppg) and David
Schroeder (12.8) are also steady contributors for the Bengals.

ISU picked the wrong time to get into an extended losing streak. NAU will
continue to keep the scoreboard operator busy against the slumping Bengal
defense as it notches another Big Sky win.

Sports Network Predicted Outcome: Northern Arizona 83, Idaho State 74
