[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The 5th-seeded San Diego State Aztecs (26-10) meet the top-seeded UConn Huskies (33-3) in a Sweet 16 matchup at TD Garden in Boston Thursday. Tip-off is scheduled for 7:39 p.m. ET (TBS/truTV). Below, we look at San Diego State vs. UConn odds from BetMGM Sportsbook before making our expert college basketball picks and predictions.

Despite losing in the Mountain West Tournament title game, San Diego State earned an at-large bid to the Big Dance as a 5 seed. The Aztecs advanced to the Sweet 16 with a 69-65 win against 12th-seeded UAB in the 1st round and an 85-57 victory over 13th-seeded Yale in the 2nd. They averaged 77 points per game in the 1st 2 rounds while allowing 61.

No. 1 seed UConn has routed both of its opponents thus far in the NCAA Tournament, pushing aside 16th-seeded Stetson 91-52 in the opening round and topping 9th-seeded Northwestern 75-58 Sunday. The Huskies have won 9 in a row, including a 3-0 run to the Big East Tournament title, while going 8-1 ATS in the span. They are 7-2 to the Under as well.

UConn is ranked No. 1 and San Diego State is No. 25 in the USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll.

San Diego State vs. UConn head-to-head

It’s a rematch of the 2023 NCAA championship game. UConn claimed its 5th title with a 76-59 victory over the Aztecs April 3, 2023. The Huskies held the Aztecs to 26% (6 of 23) shooting from long range. First-team All-American Tristen Newton had 19 points and 10 boards in the victory.

Obviously, both of these schools made it to the Sweet 16 and beyond in 2023. This is the 4th time that San Diego State has reached this stage of the NCAA Tournament, while the Huskies have been here 19 times.

March Madness National Championship first look: San Diego State vs. UConn odds and lines

Looking at Monday’s San Diego State vs. UConn national title game odds, lines and trends. Here’s what you need to know.

The San Diego State Aztecs (32-6) and UConn Huskies (30-8) will meet for all the marbles Monday night in the NCAA Men’s Basketball National Championship Game. Tip-off from NRG Stadium in Houston is scheduled for 9:20 p.m. ET (CBS).

Below, we look at the San Diego State vs. UConn odds from BetMGM Sportsbook. Plus, check out SportsbookWire’s college basketball expert picks and predictions.

San Diego State, the No. 5 seed from the South Region, advanced to its 1st title game in program history when G Lamont Butler hit a mid-range jumper at the buzzer for a 72-71 victory over FAU, the No. 9 seed from the East Region.

The Aztecs, who trailed by 14 points with 13:53 left, didn’t cover the spread as 2.5-point favorites in claiming their 9th consecutive win. The Over 130.5 easily cashed.

The Aztecs covered in their previous 6 games, including 4 in the NCAA Tournament. They beat 12th-seeded Charleston 63-57 as 5.5-point favorites in the 1st round, 13th-seeded Furman 75-52 as 4.5-point favorites in the 2nd round, No. 1 seed Alabama 71-64 as 6.5-point underdogs in the Sweet 16, 6th-seeded Creighton 57-56 as 2.5-point dogs in the Elite 8 and FAU Saturday.

The Aztecs won the Mountain West regular-season title and the conference’s postseason tournament. Until this NCAA tourney, the furthest SDSU had advanced was the Sweet 16 — twice (2011 and ’14).

Meanwhile, UConn is a win away from its 5th national championship and they are a perfect 5-0 in the title game, last cutting down the nets in 2014. The Huskies, the No. 4 seed in the West Region, defeated Midwest Region 5-seed Miami 72-59 in Saturday’s 2nd semifinal. They covered as 6-point favorites with Under 148.5 cashing.

UConn’s 5 NCAA tourney wins are all by double digits. The Huskies beat No. 13 seed Iona 87-63 as 9-point favorites in the 1st round, 5th-seeded Saint Mary’s 70-55 as 3.5-point favorites in the 2nd round, No. 8 seed Arkansas 88-65 as 3.5-point favorites in the Sweet 16, 3rd-seeded Gonzaga 82-54 as 2.5-point favorites in the Elite 8 and Miami in a Saturday semifinal.

UConn enters Monday on a 5-game win streak. The Huskies finished 4th in the Big East regular season with a 13-7 record and lost in the conference tournament semifinals to top-seeded Marquette before embarking on their current 5-game run to the title game.

The final USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll before the NCAA Tournament had the Aztecs ranked 18th and the Huskies 12th.

San Diego State vs. UConn head-to-head

Final Four first look: FAU vs. San Diego State odds, lines and trends

Looking at Saturday’s FAU vs. San Diego State Final Four odds, lines and trends. Here’s what you need to know.

The 9th-seeded FAU Owls (35-3) and 5-seed San Diego State Aztecs (31-6) meet Saturday in a Final Four game at NRG Stadium in Houston. Tip is scheduled for 6:09 p.m. ET (CBS). Below, we look at FAU vs. San Diego State odds from Tipico Sportsbook. Plus, check out our expert college basketball picks and predictions.

The improbable run of the Owls continued at Madison Square Garden in New York. The Owls had never won an NCAA Tournament game prior to March 17, and now they have won 4 straight to get to Houston.

FAU won a couple of nailbiters in NYC, topping 4th-seeded Tennessee 62-55  as a 4.5-point underdog, while edging 3rd-seeded Kansas State 79-76 as a 1-point ‘dog. The Over and Under alternated in the last 4 games for the Owls.

Florida Atlantic’s Johnell Davis has been a star in this tourney, racking up 17.3 points per game (PPG), 7.8 rebounds per game (RPG) and 3.3 assists per game (APG).

FAU was able to win despite 22 turnovers against K-State, something it will need to clean up before facing another defensive-minded team in San Diego State.

The Aztecs nipped 6th-seeded Creighton 57-56 as 2.5-point underdogs at the KFC Yum! Center in Louisville Sunday. The game had somewhat of a controversial finish. A late foul call — which a lot of fans didn’t like — sent Aztecs G Darrion Trammell to the free-throw line with 1.2 seconds left. He missed the 1st free throw but made the 2nd for the 1-point lead. Then the following inbounds pass by Creighton went out of bounds at the other end, but time appeared to still be left. After a review, the game was declared final. Rough finish for the Bluejays, exultation for the Aztecs.

San Diego State has won and covered each of its 4 games in the NCAA Tournament, and it’s on an 8-game straight-up win streak, while covering each of the last 6 outings. The Under is on an even more amazing 7-0 run in the postseason and a 12-0 streak overall dating back to Feb. 15.

The Aztecs are allowing just 57.3 PPG through 4 games in the tournament.  San Diego State topped Creighton despite shooting just 38% (25 of 66) from the field, and 23% (3 of 13) from behind the arc.

FAU vs. San Diego State head-to-head

FAU and San Diego State have met twice before on the hardwood with the Aztecs owning a 2-0 series lead. The last matchup was way back on Dec. 28, 2002, a 91-75 win by San Diego State on its home court. That loss came the season after FAU’s only previous trip to the NCAA Tournament.
