Boise State Broncos vs. San Diego State Aztecs Predictions

The San Diego State Aztecs, boasting an unblemished 14-0 home record, are looking to extend their dominance at Viejas Arena against a formidable Boise State squad. The Aztecs, led by forward Jaedon LeDee, who is averaging a robust 20.5 points and 8.3 rebounds per game, have been a force in the Mountain West with an 11-6 conference record. Despite recent shooting woes and road struggles, they remain a defensive powerhouse, ranking 213th in field goal percentage and 157th in free throw percentage nationally.

On the other side, the Boise State Broncos, who are 6-3 on the road, are coming off a tough loss but have shown resilience throughout the season. Forward Tyson Degenhart, averaging 16.9 points per game, leads a balanced offensive attack that has helped the Broncos to a 12-5 conference record. With a 113th national ranking in field goal percentage and a 210th ranking in three-point field goal percentage, Boise State will need to capitalize on their offensive strengths to overcome the Aztecs’ stout defense.

This matchup promises to be a battle of contrasting styles, with San Diego State’s defense clashing against Boise State’s offense. The key to victory for the Aztecs will be to contain Degenhart and disrupt the Broncos’ scoring rhythm, while Boise State will aim to exploit any offensive opportunities and challenge the Aztecs’ shooters. With both teams on the cusp of the postseason, expect a fiercely contested game as they vie for a favorable seed in the upcoming Mountain West tournament.

Boise State Broncos vs. San Diego State Aztecs Pick

The San Diego State Aztecs have proven to be a formidable force at home, boasting a perfect 14-0 record at Viejas Arena. This home-court advantage is a significant factor in their favor, especially when considering the Aztecs’ defensive prowess. With the Aztecs’ ability to stifle opponents’ scoring, coupled with Jaedon LeDee’s standout performances, it’s reasonable to expect their home dominance to continue. Despite their recent shooting struggles, the Aztecs have shown resilience and an ability to grind out wins, which is crucial in close matchups like this one.

While the Boise State Broncos have a solid road record and an efficient offense led by Tyson Degenhart, the Aztecs’ defense is likely to pose a significant challenge. Historically, strong defensive teams have the edge over good offensive teams, particularly in high-stakes games leading up to tournament play. Additionally, the Aztecs’ need to secure a favorable seed in the Mountain West tournament adds an extra layer of motivation. Given these factors, along with the favorable moneyline odds, backing the San Diego State Aztecs to win at home is the prudent choice for this matchup.
