Yale vs San Diego State Picks & Prediction
Yale pulled off one of the biggest upsets in the opening round by rallying past Auburn, 78-76 to cash as 14-point underdogs.
The Bulldogs look to repeat Princeton's early success last season with the Ivy League trying for a second straight tournament with a school in the Sweet 16.
Yale faces last season's runner-up in San Diego State, who needed to hold off UAB, 69-65 as 6.5-point favorites.
The Aztecs have struggled to cover numbers of late by going 1-6 ATS the last seven games, which includes three outright losses as a favorite.
San Diego State is one of the top defensive teams in the country, but the offensive numbers aren't on the same level. The Aztecs do struggle from deep by hitting 31.2% of its 3-point attempts, which is 309th in the country.
Yale couldn't contain Auburn on 2-point attempts (60.6%), but the Bulldogs got to the line plenty by hitting 21-of-31 tries at the charity stripe.
The Bulldogs have plenty of momentum after shocking Auburn and worth a strong look here getting points again when they face the Aztecs.
Pick: Yale +5.5 (-110)
