The San Jose State Spartans and the San Diego State Aztecs meet in college basketball action from the Viejas Arena on Friday night.

The San Jose State Spartans will look to build on their first conference win after taking down New Mexico 71-55 in their last game. Omari Moore leads the Spartans across the board with 13 PPG, 5.3 RPG and 4.8 APG while Trey Anderson has 9 PPG with 4.3 RPG on the year. As a team, San Jose State is averaging 65.5 PPG on 43% shooting from the field, 36.3% from three and 67.6% from the foul line while allowing 72.7 PPG on 46.6% shooting from the field and 35.1% from three this season.

The San Diego State Aztecs will hope to bounce back from a 58-57 loss to Boise State last time out. Matt Bradley leads the Aztecs in scoring with 16.8 PPG along with 5.3 RPG as the only double-digit scorer for San Diego State so far this season. Nathan Mensah has 7.6 PPG and a team-high 6.9 RPG to lead the Aztecs on the glass and Trey Pulliam has 7.8 PPG with a team-high 3.5 APG to lead the Aztecs in the assist department this season. As a team, San Diego State is averaging 65.1 PPG on 43.3% shooting from the field, 35.2% from three and 69.1% from the foul line while allowing 57.1 PPG on 37.9% shooting from the field and 30.3% from three this season.

San Jose State is 5-1 ATS in their last 7 games overall and 5-1 ATS in their last 6 road games while the under is 6-1-1 in their last 8 games against a team with a winning record. San Diego State is 20-9 ATS in their last 29 Friday games and 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games against a team with a losing record while the under is 9-4 in their last 13 home games.

I get why San Diego State is favored here and taking points with San Jose State is never easy. However, the Aztecs have a big game against Wyoming coming up on the road and the Aztecs have bigger fish to fry than to blow San Jose State out of the water, a Spartans team that’s destined for a first round exit in the conference tournament. This is a game more for San Jose State and the Spartans have pulled off a cover against the Aztecs earlier this season. I’ll take my chances with San Jose State and the boatload of points here.
