Pick
I’m looking to back Utah State here. The Aggies haven’t been completely dominant this season, but the problem with Air Force is that while they’ve been able to score points in spots this year, more often than not, getting to 60 points is a struggle for Air Force if they even make it to that point. On the other side, Utah State usually plays their best basketball at home, and they’ve had a history of beating on Air Force like a drum. Give me the Aggies laying the points.
