Brigham Young Cougars @ San Diego State Aztecs NCAA Basketball Pick

Brigham Young Cougars @ San Diego State Aztecs NCAA Basketball Pick: The Cougars were the last team, wait, the only team to beat the Aztecs so far this season, topping them 71-58 in Utah. Since then, San Diego State has played some tough games, but they’ve won all of them, 7 straight and counting. That 13-point loss might seem like a big margin, and it is, but that’s not how the game went. It was real close coming down the stretch, but Jimmer Fredette took over, and a close game became a big win for the Cougars.

BYU lost the very next game they played, to New Mexico, by 9 points. But that was only their second loss of the season, and since then they’ve also run through the Mountain West.

The conference Championship could come down to this game, in fact, it looks like it will – so if the Aztecs or Cougars have any hopes of being a 1-seed in the Big Dance, this game is a must.

Will Jimmer be able to go hero on the Aztecs this time around? Because I think San Diego State is the better all around team with more talent outside of that one single position. I’m not saying that BYU is all Fredette, but the Aztecs get more from more directions, and I think that ends up being the reason they win this game.

With just one loss, on the road at BYU, the Aztecs look to avenge their lone mistake. At home where they are undefeated, I like their chances.
