Preview
San Diego State improved to 5-3 over their last 8 games after a solid 2-0 week. They struggled a bit on the road to start out Mountain West play, but have settled in since then. After picking up a key win over Utah State, they handled business at Air Force. The Aztecs are currently projected to receive a 5-seed in the tourney, but will still aim to further improve their standing. They face another tough road game here.
Nevada got back on track last week, after going 1-4 over their previous 5 games. The slide impacted their metrics quite a bit, putting the Wolf Pack on the outside of the projected NCAA Tournament field. That being said, they moved back in the right direction on Tuesday. They picked up a crucial 14-point road win over Utah State, their 4th Quad 1 win of the season. They can raise that total to 5 with a win over SDSU.
Prediction
Winning on the road has been even more difficult this season than in the past, especially in evenly ranked matchups. When these two teams faced off a few weeks ago at San Diego State, the Aztecs won by 12. I expect this game at Nevada to be much closer. San Diego State is the better team, but they’ll still face an uphill battle on the road. Ultimately, I see the Aztecs overcoming Nevada’s home-court advantage to win.
NCAAB Picks:
- San Diego State 67, Nevada 64 )
