Utah State Aggies vs San Diego State Aztecs PICKS AND PREDICTION

The featured game of the night in the Mountain West Conference features a battle for the top slot in the standings, and with only four games remaining in the regular season, this game could ultimately decide the 1-seed on the conference tourney.

It looked like the Aggies were feeling the pressure of the race to the finish line from their Saturday performance against Colorado State. The Rams handed the Aggies a 20-point beatdown this past weekend, and Utah State was only able to produce 55 points in the losing effort on the road. Returning home should benefit the Aggies considering they are 11 – 1 in Logan, and can I say how happy I am they did flop in that game because of how it affected tonight’s total?

I will tell you right now that if the Aggies pounded the Rams on Saturday and scored 83+ points, this total would be 147… EASY! It was 81 – 67 in the first meeting between these teams in San Diego two weeks ago, and with that win the Aztecs have now beaten the Aggies the last five times they’ve met.

Only one team has held the Aggies under 77 points at home this campaign, and Utah State averages 80.1 PPG overall this year ranking them 49th in the country, The Aggies are going to pick up the pieces from a horrible outing against the Rams, the home crowd is going to do the rest for us.

The Aztecs have won four of their last five games, and they are coming off an 81-point effort against New Mexico resulting in an 11-point win. Keep in mind that last Saturday, the San Diego State vs New Mexico game was also a battle between two teams that are battling for first place in the Mountain West Conference table, as this race is as wide open as it gets.

Any team in the top 5 of the standings can win the 1-seed for the conference tourney, but this game will undoubtedly have an impact on that. I see a 78 – 75 game with over 150 points hitting the scoreboard, so play the total and I’ll see you tomorrow!

Great Osobor did all he could to try to give life to the Aggies in the loss to Colorado State scoring 15 points and grabbing 13 rebounds. Osobor now has 12 double-doubles this year, and he leads the Aggies roster putting up 17.8 PPG.

The Aggies have three other players averaging double-digits this year, and Darius Brown II has some making up to do tonight! Brown was held to only 2 points in the 75 – 55 loss to the Rams this past weekend, and he has been averaging 12.4 PPG over his last 10 games.

Mason Falsev is one of the four players averaging double-digits for the Aggies, and he only scored 3 points in the losing effort to New Mexico. Falsev has only scored a total of 7 points over his last two games, so the Aggies bench better be ready to relieve him.

Jaedon Ledee is an animal, as he has yet to be held to under double-digit scoring in any game this campaign. He is coming off his 14th game with over 20 points in the win over New Mexico this past weekend, and he is averaging 20.4 PPG for the campaign.

Reese Waters needs to pick up his game, as his average is down to 11.2 PPG, and he has not scored more than 8 points in 5 of his last 7 games.

LaMont Butler has increased his output over the last 11 games having been a double-digit scorer in 7 of those affairs to bring his average to 9.9 PPG. Another double-digit effort could push him to become the Aztecs’ third player averaging double-digits this season.
