The UT-Arlington Mavericks and the San Diego State Aztecs meet in college basketball action from Viejas Arena on Saturday night.

The UT-Arlington Mavericks will be looking to rebound from a 64-36 loss to North Texas in their last game. David Azore leads the Mavericks in scoring with 11.8 PPG along with 4.3 RPG while Shemar Wilson and Pedro Castro each have a team-high 4.8 RPG and Javon Levi has 4.2 APG as well for the Mavericks this season. As a team, UT-Arlington is averaging 64 PPG on 46.5% shooting from the field, 24.6% from three and 62.7% from the foul line while allowing 76.8 PPG on 37.6% shooting from the field and 35.4% from three this season.

The San Diego State Aztecs will be looking to build on a 65-63 win over Arizona State last time out. Matt Bradley leads the Aztecs in scoring with 14.3 PPg along with 4.3 RPG while Nathan Mensah has 12 PPG with a team-high 9 RPG and Trey Pulliam has 10.3 PPG with 4.3 RPG and a team-high 3 APG to make up the trio of double-digit scorers for San Diego State so far this season. As a team, San Diego State is averaging 63.7 PPG on 41.6% shooting from the field, 20.4% from three and 60.5% from the foul line while allowing 60.7 PPG on 38.3% from the field and 23.5% from three this season.

UT-Arlington is 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games as an underdog and 1-6 ATS in their last 7 road games while the under is 5-1 in their last 6 Saturday games. San Diego State is 2-7 ATS in their last 9 games overall and 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games following a win while the under is 4-1 in their last 5 games overall.

This is a ton of points to be giving up with a San Diego State team that hasn’t really blown teams away this season despite having a fantastic defense. With that said, the Mavericks struggled mightily against a North Texas bunch that’s nowhere close to San Diego State’s level on that end of the floor and I just think that the Aztecs are the play here but it’s a lean.
