San Jose State vs. Colorado State Prediction
I’m on the over here. I think Colorado State’s going to be able to score points in bunches against the Spartans, but San Jose State is one of the better 3-point shooting teams in the Mountain West and shoots the 3 in high volume and that’s one area of the floor that the Rams struggle to defend. I think this game’s total is far too light, so give me the over here.
