College basketball picks for Utah State vs. San Diego State

Before tuning into the San Diego State vs. Utah State game, you need to see the college basketball picks from SportsLine’s advanced computer model. The SportsLine Projection Model simulates every Division I college basketball game 10,000 times. The model enters conference tournament week 76-51 on all-top rated college basketball picks this season, returning nearly $1,200 for $100 players. Anybody who has followed it has seen huge returns. 

For San Diego State vs. Utah State, the model projects that the Aggies cover the spread. San Diego State won both regular-season meetings between these teams, but Utah State has been the better team of late. The Aggies are the hottest team in the conference, entering the title game riding a seven-game winning streak. They have won six of those games by double digits, including Friday’s 72-62 win against Boise State as 2-point favorites.

Junior guard Max Shulga had 19 points and five assists in the semifinals, with 14 of those points coming after halftime. Junior guard Steven Ashworth leads Utah State with 16.4 points, 4.6 assists and 3.3 rebounds per game, while senior forward Taylor Funk is averaging 13.6 points and 5.4 rebounds. Ashworth had 18 points, six assists and five rebounds in a 63-61 loss to the Aztecs on Feb. 8. 

San Diego State got off to a shaky start in the tournament, failing to cover the 9.5-point spread in its 64-61 win over Colorado State. The Aztecs have only covered the spread in two of their last five games, and Utah State has covered in all seven games during its winning streak. The Aggies are covering again on Saturday in well over 60% of the latest simulations. Stream the game here.
