San Diego State vs Utah State Prediction
Utah State has been the better team this season and should be favored, but it’s San Diego State that’s starting to play its best ball and a win like last night only adds to the confidence. San Diego State and Utah State split both meetings this season, and it’s the Aztecs that comfortably won the last effort. There’s a huge crowd edge for San Diego State in this tournament as well. This is likely going to be a physical game where either side can win late. I want the free bucket with San Diego State.
