San Diego State at Colorado State picks and predictions

Prediction

Colorado State 71, San Diego State 69

Moneyline

COLORADO STATE (+170) is worth a look on its home court, as it looks to build off the momentum from its road win at UNLV last time out.

San Diego State (-220) has been involved in close games for a good part of the past 6 weeks, and its luck ran out last week against New Mexico.

Against the spread

COLORADO STATE +4.5 (-110) is a solid value on its home court, as this should be a very close conference game.

San Diego State -4.5 (-110) has managed a dismal 2-9-1 ATS mark across its past 12 games. While the Aztecs have covered 4 straight in this series, the Rams are the better option on their home court.

Over/Under

UNDER 140.5 (-105) is worth a look.

The Under has connected in each of the past 3 games in this series, including last season’s meeting in Fort Collins. Colorado State scratched out a 58-57 win in that battle.

The Aztecs have cashed the Under at a 9-3 clip in the past 12 road games against teams with a home winning percentage over .600. The Rams have cashed the Over in 6 in a row, but should have difficulty running up the score against a San Diego State defense which allows just 66.1 PPG.

MWC Tournament: San Diego State vs. Colorado State odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s San Diego State vs Colorado State odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The No. 3 seed San Diego State Aztecs (22-7) meet the second-seeded Colorado State Rams (25-4) in a Mountain West semifinal Friday. Tip from the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas is scheduled for midnight ET. Below, we look at the San Diego State vs. Colorado State odds and lines, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

Colorado State, which finished 14-4 in MWC play, snuck into the semifinal with a 53-51 win over the seventh-seeded Utah State Aggies Thursday. G Isaiah Stevens led the Rams with a team-high 14 points, and G David Roddy added 13 points. While the Rams only went 3-for-18 from 3-point land, the Aggies finished 1-for-15 behind the arc.

The Aztecs, who finished with a 13-4 MWC regular-season record, are coming off Thursday’s 53-46 victory over sixth-seeded Fresno State. The winner of this semifinal will face the winner of top-seeded Boise State and No. 4 seed Wyoming in Saturday’s championship game.

Colorado State is 14-14 against the spread (ATS) for the season, including 8-11 ATS in conference games. San Diego State is 16-13 ATS overall with an MWC-best 11-7 ATS mark in conference play.

The Rams’ 75.0 points per game (PPG) ranks 78th in the nation. They are led by Roddy’s 19.3 PPG.

Colorado State is No. 24 in the Ferris Mowers Coaches Poll powered by USA TODAY Sports with San Diego State SU also receiving a few Top-25 votes.

San Diego State vs. Colorado State odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

San Diego State 63, Colorado State 60

Money line

PASS.

Given all the late-game fouling that typically takes place in the conference tournament games, I’ll take San Diego State to win by more than just 1 point. So, let’s focus on the spread below.

Against the spread

BET SAN DIEGO STATE -1.5 (-115).

San Diego State has been the better covering team all season and Colorado State avoided a near loss to Utah State Thursday. As mentioned, the Aztecs are 16-13 ATS, and have covered 6 of their last 8 games.

San Diego State is 2-0 ATS vs. Colorado State this season as well, covering as a 2.5-point home favorite in a 30-point win Jan. 8, and as a 4-point road underdog in a 1-point loss Feb. 4.

CSU hasn’t been a great covering team, failing to cover as a 3.5-point favorite against Utah State Thursday. The Rams are just 1-4 ATS over their last 5 games.

The Rams also rank 14th in the nation in field-goal percentage, which plays into the Aztecs’ strength as they rank fourth in opponents’ field-goal percentage, holding opponents to 37.9% from the field.

Combine it all, and I’ll take SDSU to win and cover.

Over/Under

LEAN to the UNDER 125.5 (-115).

This is a low total, but if there’s one thing both teams have been good at this season, it’s been cashing Under tickets. CSU is 10-18 O/U, while SDSU is 12-17 O/U.

Considering San Diego State’s elite defense and the fact that Colorado State ranks 314th in possessions per game, I expect a slow-paced, grind-it-out type game.

San Diego State at Colorado State odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Friday’s San Diego State Aztecs at Colorado State Rams odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The San Diego State Aztecs (12-5, 4-2 MWC) visit the Colorado State Rams (16-3, 6-3) Friday for a Mountain West showdown in Fort Collins. The contest at Moby Arena is slated to tip off at 9 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the San Diego State vs. Colorado State odds and lines, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

San Diego State is coming off a Monday 72-47 home rout of New Mexico. The Aztecs held the Lobos to a 30.8% mark from the field. SDSU is 7-2 over its last nine games. The country’s third-best defense – tops in the MWC – (56.8 points allowed per game) held opponents to an anemic 35.1% accuracy mark over that stretch.

The Rams went 16-1 over their first 17 games, but they lost their last two games. The most recent setback was an 84-78 overtime setback at Wyoming Monday. The Aztecs handed the Rams their first loss of the season, a 79-49 rout back on Jan. 8 in San Diego.

San Diego State at Colorado State odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

San Diego State 65, Colorado State 63

Money line

This veteran San Diego State squad plays tremendous defense, forcing opponents into inefficient looks most times down the floor. The Aztecs’ defensive efficiency numbers on the road rank in the top 10 in the nation.

Over its last two games, Colorado State has yielded a 51.9% mark from the field, including a 42.0% figure from beyond the arc.

Peg this game as a pick ’em, so there is certainly value on SAN DIEGO STATE (+155).

Against the spread

The Rams are 0-4 ATS in their last four games against .600 foes.

More risk-averse bettors may want to take the AZTECS +3.5 (-105).

Over/Under

UNDER 133.5 (-108) is the way to go.

The Under is 8-0 in SDSU’s last eight games against .600 foes.

Schedule-wise, the Rams look to be heading into a couple weeks of Under lean.
