BYU defeated Cleveland State, 69-59, as Alex Barcello scored a team-leading 24 points, and Spencer Johnson added 13 points for the Cougars, who won despite making just 5 of 19 3-pointers. The Vikings were held to 36% shooting and 4 of 16 from long range as BYU played well defensively after holding opponents to 68.6 points last season. The Cougars have big hopes for 6-8 Caleb Lohner, and he pulled down nine rebounds on Tuesday. San Diego State returns just two starters, but the Aztecs did beat UC Riverside, 66-53, in their opener. BYU won last year's meeting, 72-62, as a 6.5-point underdog, and the Aztecs are 1-5 ATS their past six following a win while BYU is 20-5-1 ATS following an ATS loss. However, the Cougars are just a small favorite in this game. Play BYU on the moneyline.

The BYU Cougars have a couple of advantages over their opponents. Because of served missions, the players are often much older than their opponents and have matured a lot more. They also play at a high altitude at home and that gives them another big edge over opponents that are not from high-altitude locations. The Cougars have not lost more than four home games since at least 2006 and are an amazing 204-29 straight-up here over the period. That makes a tall task for an opponent coming in here to leave with a win. They are even better in the role of a home favorite where they are 175-19 SU. It's so tough to buck those numbers, so take BYU on the moneyline.
