The third-place game of the Hawaiian Airlines Diamond Head Classic is set for Sunday night when the Utah State Aggies (10-2) play the Washington State Cougars (5-7). Both teams lost in the semifinals as favorites, but a third-place finish, plus a vacation in Hawai’i, won’t be too bad of a consolation. Below is my college basketball pick for Utah State vs Washington State.
