Colorado State vs. San Diego State Prediction
I’m on the Aztecs here. San Diego State has been far more effective at home this season, and while Colorado State is a really solid team that I think will end up in the NCAA tournament, I just think the Aztec defense shows up in a big way here. Should be a great game, but I think San Diego State comes out ahead in this one with the win and cover.
