I don't post a lot and don't believe in this game of the year hype. I have been to every SDSU home game the past 5 seasons.
This year's team is as athletic as the team that went to the NCAA tournament 3 seasons ago. SDSU needs to get out and run in order to beat legit D-I teams.
CSU holds opponents to a mere 37.2% and 33.3% from the 3 point line.
San Diego State needs the 3 point shot in order to be successful offensively. They don't live and die with the 3 such as teams like St Joe's, but they need it to set-up their drives.
SDSU has wins over
Loyola Marymount
MD Balt Cty
Santa Barbara
Point Loma (San Diego)
Albany
Southern Miss
Alaska Fairbanks
Losses
Providence
Washington St
Cal
USD
Illinois Chicago
They are yet to really beat a legit upper level D-I basketball program.
Colorado State has played
Iowa St
Auburn
Kansas State
Pepperdine
RPIs aren't even close 25 to 188 in favor of CSU.
CSU's leading scorer is 7 footer Jason Smith at 16.5 ppg
Then you have Michael Harrison at 6-10 with 11.6 ppg.
Basically CSU is going to dominate the paint and hold SDSU to one shot each time down the floor. The height advantage inside is going to negate SDSU's athleticism and driving to the hoop.
Aztecs are without their leading scorer Slaughter, have been for the past 3 games. Heath will have to shoulder the load along with the newcomer Abukar. Center Mo Camara is going to foul out in about 10 minutes tonight. He is a hack who can't handle legit big men down low.
What does all this mean?
CSU +1.5 10 UNITS
Everyone is going to be throwing money on the national championship game simply because it is the big game, but this is where the money is to be made tonight.
