CBB 5* San Diego State -3 vs. North Dakota State 6:10PM EST
The College card for Saturday night has produced another solid Black Label Best Bet. North Dakota State off their upset victory over the Sooners has them now facing a very stingy defensive minded San Diego State team. North Dakota State defeated Oklahoma because the Sooners defense is inconsistent and average at best while the team they face tonight certainly believes in defending the basket. Just look at some of the teams they faced this season and what they allowed them to score. New Mexico scored 58 and 48, Marquette 59, UNLV 64, 52, 51, Boise State 66, 65 and Kansas 57 points. NDS has a decent presence in the paint but they are not nearly as athletic as SDS especially at the forward and guard positions as SDS has size and speed. Their ability to defend is evident in their holding opponents to 28 percent from behind the arc. Overall San Diego State allows 58 points per game and a meager 39 percent shooting from the floor. North Dakota State is coming off the biggest win in school history and now faces a team that was taken into overtime after having led by double-digits at the half. Not a recipe for success as this is a perfect flat spot for NDS and a perfect attention getting contest for SDS. We expect San Diego State to be completely focused on the task at hand which means grab a big lead and never look back. The BTPR Index projects a point advantage of 8.8 points. The BBMM projects a point differential of 6.84 points with a current line range of -3 to -5. The SIM Matrix projects a 73.5 percent against the spread advantage in tonight's contest. The Pace - Tempo Matrix has San Diego State with a Transitional number of 41.39 with a conversion rate range 45.2 to 48.95 percent. With solid situations favoring San Diego State along with a huge edge in all primary index averages we will lay the short price here as San Diego State gets the win and advances. Lay the points
