SAN DIEGO STATE AZTECS VS. WYOMING COWBOYS PREDICTIONS

The Aztecs of San Diego State have come alive lately, winning six of the past seven games, including a 77-52 win over San Jose State last time out on Friday. The only setback during the span was a 58-57 loss at Boise State on Tuesday. San Diego State has played its way onto the NCAA Tournament bubble, and could really help itself with a quality win over a conference foe. It still has a lot of work to do.

The Cowboys of Wyoming bounced back with a 74-61 victory over Nevada after a 61-55 setback at Colorado State in its previous road outing. The Cowboys have covered the past two, while going 6-2-1 ATS across the past nine games overall, too. Wyoming currently finds itself a game and a half back of Boise State for the top spot in the Mountain West. Those two teams split the regular-season series.

SAN DIEGO STATE AZTECS VS. WYOMING COWBOYS BETTING CONCLUSION

Keith Dinwiddie, Jr., who hasn't played since Jan. 31, is once again listed as questionable for this game due to personal reasons. He has been tending to a family matter in Los Angeles, and there is no timetable for his return. He is a reserve averaging 11 minutes per game, and so far his absence hasn't affected the Aztecs too terribly.

San Diego State has dominated this series in recent seasons, both straight up and against the number. While that's all well and good, this has been a different Wyoming basketball team this season. While, yes, it does have a pair of losses in the past four games, those were games on the road. In Laramie, Wyoming has been a completely different team. The Cowboys are a perfect 13-0 SU at home, and 6-4-2 ATS in those games with a spread, including 3-1-1 ATS in the past five at Auditorium Arena. While their gym's name is rather ordinary, the play of the Cowboys hasn't been. They're a good bet at home as short 'dogs, and play the OVER a little bit, too.
