Game Prediction
San Diego State is the better team, undoubtedly. They have a talented bench and play smart basketball. The Aztecs have dominated the Rams this year, and I think that trend continues today. If the Rams want to win, they must be fundamentally sound and make their shots count. If the Aztecs build a lead, it’s over. Realistically, this is a game SDSU should win easily. They have been solid all year and have more than one weapon in their arsenal. For more NCAA Men’s Basketball News, CLICK HERE.
