Long Beach State at San Diego State

A pair of California mid-majors will do battle in this one. San Diego State came within an eyelash of NCAA Champion Connecticut in the tourney a year ago, while Long Beach State did the unthinkable by going into the Peterson Events center where Pitt rarely loses and handled the Panthers with relative ease. That may work against them in this one, as it is a natural letdown, and the coast-to-coast to coast travel won't help matters here against a potent opponent. San Diego State has developed a winning mentality at home, and has beaten some good teams here along the path to a 16-1 mark in their last 27 home games, including 4-0 this season. The Aztecs have really flexed their muscles when facing a winning team where they are 18-7-1 ATS in their last 26. This is a tough venue and opponent for Long beach after a huge win. Play on San Diego St. to get the money.
