UAB vs San Diego State Prediction

UAB needed to win the AAC championship in order to get into the Big Dance as the Blazers are riding a 5-game winning streak.

San Diego State made it to the National Championship last season, as the Aztecs were 27-6 heading into the Big Dance as a 5-seed.

This season, the Aztecs are a 5th seed again, but are coming off a 22-9 campaign prior to the Mountain West tournament.

The Blazers posted an incredible 10-2 ATS mark as an underdog, which included eight outright victories.

San Diego State struggled from long distance by ranking 307th in 3-point shooting 31.7%, which was a drop from last season's team that hit 34% of its attempts from downtown.

This is a good spot to ride the Blazers in the underdog role.
