San Jose State Spartans vs Utah State Aggies prediction
The San Jose State Spartans are going through a slump where the defense just hasn’t been able to figure things out and those issues don’t fix itself on the road. The Utah State Aggies look like the team to beat in the MWC this season, and they’re undefeated at home. Utah State is a well above average team at both ends of the floor and has covered 5 of its last 7 games. Thick number, but it’s hard to step in front of Utah State at the moment. I’ll lay the points with the Aggies.
