#625 ASA FREE PLAY ON San Diego State +3.5 over Utah State, Saturday at 1:30 PM ET - We always like considering good teams off losses and that’s what we have here. Not only did SDSU lose on Thursday night, they lost to this Utah State team. The Aztecs lost by 12 in that Thursday loss but shot terribly at 31% making only 17 of their 54 shot attempts. They are one of the better 3-point shooting teams in the nation (36th) but only mad 24% of their shots from beyond the arc in that loss. It was their worst offensive outing of the year by a wide margin. Earlier in the season they were in a similar situation losing to Colorado State on the road on a Saturday and then beating them by 13 just 2 days later. We were on SDSU on that game and expect a similar outcome here. Utah State is a solid 10-3 on the year however Thursday was their first win over a top 100 opponent. The 3 other top 100 opponents they had faced before Thursday (VCU, BYU, and South Dakota State) all resulted in losses with 2 of those setbacks coming by double digits. Beyond those game, plus their game vs San Diego State, the Aggies haven’t faced a single team ranked inside the top 200. Utah State was favored by just 1 point on Thursday and now they are laying 3.5 here which we feel is a bad number. San Diego State has been solid bounce back team covering 8 of their last 10 off a loss including both games following their 2 losses this year prior to Thursday. We like SDSU to win this one outright.
