BYU vs. San Diego State

The Maui Invitational will feature BYU at 3-0 taking on the San Diego State Aztecs, also at 3-0. The Aztecs have built a strong program and come into this game ranked as the 16th best team in the country. BYU has a pair of big scorers, but San Diego has the balance and defense to negate an offense that is predicated on just a couple of players going off, and should be the difference maker in this game. The Aztecs defense forced Cal State Bakersfield to start the game 0-20 from the floor, on their way to a stiffling 27 points allowed in that game. San Diego also has an impressive win over a good Utah team, impressively limiting the Utes to 49 points for the game. The Cougars have a woeful 19-41 ATS mark in their last 60 games played at a neutral site. They will be in trouble adjusting to a new shooting background vs. a team that yields little ground to opposing offenses. Make the play on San Diego State.
