The San Diego State Aztecs and Utah States Aggies face off on Thursday in a college basketball showdown at Smith Spectrum.
The San Diego State Aztecs have been good this season sitting with a 9-2 record overall and they have won three games in a row. Even with the success, each of the last two games against Nevada were a lot closer than they probably hoped for. In the last game against Nevada, San Diego State gave up 67 points and that led to them winning by only two points. On the season, San Diego State is averaging 71 points per game while their defense is giving up 62.7 points per game. San Diego State is led by Matt Mitchell who averages 15.8 points and shoots 45.2 percent from the field and 37.2 percent from deep
On the other side of this matchup is the Utah State Aggies who sit with a 9-3 record overall and coming into this game they have won eight games in a row. Each of the last six games, Utah has also covered the spread. In the last game against New Mexico, Utah State put up 82 points and their defense gave up only 46 points. On the season, Utah State is averaging 76.6 points per game while their defense is giving up 60.2 points per game. Utah State is led by Marco Anthony who averages 12.9 points and shoots 49.1 percent from the field and 45.5 percent from deep
San Diego State is 8-2 against the spread in their last 10 games played on Thursday. The under is 21-7 in SDSU’s last 28 games played on Thursday. The over is 6-22-1 in Utah STate’s last nine games played on Thursday. The under is 7-2 in the last nine meetings played between the two teams. The home team is 6-2-1 against the spread in the last nine meetings played between the two teams.
This has been a series dominated by the home team and that is going to continue in this game. Look for San Diego State to struggle to score and that will lead to Utah State coming away with the win and a cover of the spread.
