Final Four Predictions: San Diego State vs. FAU Pick
Both of these teams lean toward the under. You can see that in the trends section above. San Diego State has gone under the total in all four NCAA Tournament games. That’s by design. The Aztecs rank fourth in defensive efficiency and 178th in adjusted tempo. San Diego State is focused on playing solid defense and grinding down its opponent. That strategy has paid off up to this point, and it should be on full display Saturday.
Florida Atlantic is no slouch on defense either. The Owls rank 30th in adjusted defensive efficiency and 15th in opponent effective field goal rate. On top of that, we could see some nerves at the beginning of this Final Four game. Transitioning from playing every game in a dedicated basketball court to now a football stadium could throw off the shooters too.
No matter how you slice it, the under looks like a good bet.
The Pick: Under 131.5 | -110 at DraftKings Sportsbook
