The San Diego State Aztecs and Air Force Falcons meet Friday in college basketball action at the Clune Arena.

The San Diego State Aztecs look for a win after splitting their last eight games. The San Diego State Aztecs are averaging 69 points on 43.4 percent shooting and allowing 60.7 points on 39.3 percent shooting. Matt Mitchell is averaging 15.3 points and 4.3 rebounds while Jordan Schakel is averaging 12.9 points and 3.6 rebounds.

The San Diego State Aztecs are allowing 33.3 percent shooting from deep and are grabbing 30.7 rebounds per game. 

The Air Force Falcons need a win after losing five of their last six games. The Air Force Falcons are averaging 58.9 points on 45.9 percent shooting and allowing 70.7 points on 47.6 percent shooting. AJ Walker is averaging 12.9 points and four rebounds while Chris Joyce is averaging 12.2 points and 1.8 assists. Keaton Van Soelen is dishing 2.9 assists and Nikc Jackson is grabbing 4.6 rebounds.

The Aztecs are 13-3 ATS in their last 16 road games and 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games overall. The Falcons are 3-10 ATS in their last 13 home games and 7-18-1 ATS in their last 26 games overall. The under is 3-0-1 in Aztecs last 4 overall. The over is 7-2 in Falcons last 9 overall. The underdog is 11-5 ATS in the last 16 meetings.

The San Diego State Aztecs are going through the motions right now, but I’m willing to give them the benefit of the doubt based on their losses, as they all came against really good teams. The Air Force Falcons can’t get stops defensively and have been fade material for the years. This feels like a game that San Diego State can use to kind of right the ship a bit. Air Force just isn’t a good club and gets waxed against quality teams. I’ll lay the chalk.
