San Diego State vs. Nevada prediction and pick
In the previous matchup between these two teams, San Diego State’s defense helped build a 14-point halftime lead, allowing the Aztecs to coast to a 71-59 win. Nevada shot 45.1% from the field, but went just 6-of-23 from 3-point range and missed 10 free throws (7-of-17).
Those numbers should turn around at home.
Nevada is 11-1 at home this season and 7-4 ATS. Nevada’s defense should set the tone in this matchup. The Wolf Pack are No. 39 overall in KenPom in defensive efficiency with above-average grades in most major metrics. San Diego State’s offense is No. 45 in efficiency, but have scored 70 points or less in two of its last three road games. Now, they’ll face a Nevada defense that is No. 1 in the Mountain West in scoring.
These teams are statistically even across the board on both sides of the ball. The advantage goes to the home team looking to upset another ranked conference opponent. Take the Wolf Pack.
