The vaunted battle for dead last place in the Diamond Head Classic will take place between these two objectively bad teams. However, true degenerates don’t back away from any game, no matter how desolate the teams!
Portland Pilots
Portland is in a serious tailspin right now.

They’ve dropped three straight games, and after going 4-1 SU and 5-0 ATS in their first five games, they’re 2-5 SU and 1-6 ATS since. They gave up a lot of points in blowout losses to Houston and Boise State on their way to the last game here in Honolulu.
Their KenPom ratings are equally atrocious. 275th in the nation overall, 279th in adjusted offense and 242nd in adjusted defense. They basically do nothing well.
That is, outside of shooting the three ball, where their 38.5% clip has them ranked 30th in the nation. Given they shoot about 20 a game, that doesn’t seem entirely insignificant.
Their top player is Senior guard Isaiah White, who averages 13.7 points/game on 44.9/37.7/74.3 shooting splits.
Ball State Cardinals
The Cardinals actually aren’t that pathetic. In fact, KenPom has them as the 111th-overall rated team in the nation, and that’s primarily driven by their defense.
The Cardinals KenPom adjusted defense rating is top-90 in the country, the Cardinals DRtg is top-50 in the country, and the Cardinals points against per game is top-40 in the country. Meanwhile, their FG percentage against is only 39%.
Ball State is an even 5-5 ATS on the season. However, they have covered two of their last three, including a big 18-point victory over Georgia Tech when they were five-point underdogs.
Ball State is led by Junior guard Ishmael El-Amin and Senior Tahjal Teague, who are both averaging 13 points/game and shooting over 50% from the field. Teague is shooting a remarkable 48.3% from three on almost five attempts/game.
CBB Betting Trends:
- The Under is 13-7 in Ball State’s last 20 games.
- The total has gone Under in 4 of Ball State’s last six games played on a Wednesday.
Free Portland Pilots vs. Ball state Cardinals NCAAB Prediction:
Portland will probably not be able to score, at all, against Ball State’s defense tomorrow. Pair that with a wicked early morning game (8:30am Hawaii time) and the fact that they were probably out late enjoying the Honolulu nightlife (last-place game today), and Portland looks to be in over their head.
Portland being a terrible basketball team explains why their games have gone over a lot lately (i.e. other teams being a lot better), but as far as ratings and statistics go, their defense seems to be a lot better than their offense.
Moreover, Ball State’s KenPom offensive rating kind of sucks, their ORtg kind of sucks, and their points scored per game kind of sucks. And their defense rules!
Finally: A total of 133 points, at the crack of dawn, between two defensive-minded teams? I wouldn’t be surprised if the score is 15-12 at the end of the first half (which, interestingly, would be breakfast time in Hawaii).
