In this article, we will formulate a Fresno State vs San Diego State Prediction for this college basketball game on Wednesday, December 4th, at the Save Mart Center.
Fresno State is Struggling
Fresno State is struggling and they have lost two games in a row. Fresno State’s last game came against Cal Baptist and they scored 81 points, but the defense gave up 86 points and that led to the defeat. Amur Augillard did have a strong game putting up 26 points, eight rebounds, and one assist but it wasn’t enough because the defense didn’t have a whole lot of interest in playing defense. The defense for this team has been the issue and when they have struggled the defense has been the reason why. Fresno State is averaging 75.1 points while their defense is giving up 77.7 points per game. The offense is ranked 198th in the league while the defense is ranked 308th.
What a Win for San Diego State
Two games ago against Oregon, San Diego State wasn’t good enough and they ended up losing 78-68. In the last game against Houston though, San Diego State scored 73 points and that was enough for the three point victory. There were four different players that put up at least 12 points. Guard Miles Byrd had a strong game putting up 18 points, six rebounds, and three assists. San Diego State is averaging 73.7 points while their defense is giving up 64.7 points per game. The offense is ranked 227th in the league while the defense is ranked 54th. In this game if the offfense can find success, they are going to be in good shape to secure the win.

Fresno State vs San Diego State Prediction
This game is going to be high scoring. Fresno State is an elite offensive team, but they refused to play any defense and they are giving up 77.7 points per game. San Diego State is averaging 73.7 points per game and they are going to go well over that number here. I don’t believe San Diego State’s defense will be as good as they are used too, and this game is going to go over the total.
