The No.7 Cougars (26-2, 12-1) held off Colorado State for an 84-76 victory at home, overcoming a poor shooting night by being aggressive and going to the foul line. Jimmer Fredette led the way with 34 points, going 14-of-16 from the free-throw line, while Brandon Davies added 14 points and 15 boards for the Cougars, who shot 38.6% from the field.

But even soccer betting players know that you have to keep pushing when things aren’t working out, which is what the Cougars did by going 35-of-43 at the charity stripe, while the Rams were 17-of-26.

The Cougars also had a big edge on the glass, outrebounding the Rams 43-24.

The No.6 Aztecs (27-1, 12-1) pulled away in the second half of a 70-58 win at Air Force, and they also destroyed their opponents on the boards, outrebounding the Falcons 49-22. The duo of Malcolm Thomas and Kawhi Leonard combined for 38 points and 28 rebounds as the Aztecs completely dominated the Falcons in the post, and that allowed them to open up a lead after the break.

San Diego State shot 35.1% from the field, but they also grabbed 20 offensive rebounds and when you can do that, you can miss as many shots as you want.

This could be the best game of the weekend for those paying a high price per head for tickets, and we expect the Aztecs to be the home favorites, and they’ve won 18 in a row at Viejas Arena. The Aztecs are 3-2 SU and ATS in their last five at home against the Cougars, but BYU has won there the last two seasons.

The Cougars also rolled to a 71-58 win in Provo over the Aztecs in January, and Fredette became a household name on sports talk radio with a 43-point performance. The Aztecs are going to have to slow him down considerably in order to pull out the win, but Fredette has struggled shooting the ball in recent games, and you have to wonder if the minutes and pressure are getting to him.

The Aztecs also have to go inside to Thomas and Leonard to slow the game down, and we think they’ll be able to pull it off on their home floor. Go with San Diego State in your online sports betting picks.

Poolside Rants hails from beautiful Bozeman Montana by way of Toronto, Canada. (Blame his wife for the move). He’s a Dallas Cowboys football honk. But please….don’t hold that against him. The man knows his sports and has uncanny knowledge when it comes to picking games.
