Fresno State at San Diego State

Fresno State (12-6) is having a fine season anchored by defense, leading the Mountain West in turnover margin and offensive rebounds. The Bulldogs toppled the then-#25 SDSU Aztecs last season 59-57 in a defensive duel. They take on a San Diego State squad that prefers a slower pace, as the offense shoots 40.8% from the field and 67.8% from the free throw line. They play strong defense at home allowing 56.1 points per home contest. The Aztecs are 3-8 ATS at home against a team with a road winning percentage of less than .400. In addition, San Diego State is 35-17 UNDER the total in Mountain West play, plus the UNDER is 15-5 when the Aztecs are at home against a team with a losing road record. Look for a close defensive game, especially in the first half, between these rivals. Play Fresno State and the first-half UNDER.
