Line: San Diego State -3.5, Total: 120 (check our odds page for current spreads and totals)
San Diego State Record 26-8 ATS 14-18 OVER/UNDER 11-16 Overview: With the third most efficient defense in the nation, allowing just .847 points per possession, San Diego State naturally plays a lot of UNDERs. The bet, in fact, has cashed in five of the Aztecs’ last six games. SDSU has advanced out of the Round of 64 in three of the last four years.

St. John’s Record 21-10 ATS 13-13-2 OVER/UNDER 15-12-1 Overview: While a 17-point loss to Providence cut St. John’s conference tournament run short, the Red Storm won six of their last eight regular-season games outright, including two victories against Xavier and one vs. Georgetown. This is their first tournament appearance since 2011.

The Linemakers’ lean: The Aztecs play incredible defense while performing equally as bad on the offensive side. We see SDSU and head coach Steve Fisher turning this into an ugly contest, slowing down the pace to a crawl. We lean to the UNDER.
