What to Know

Texas-Arlington suffered a grim 64-36 defeat to the North Texas Mean Green this past Thursday.
Meanwhile, San Diego State sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 65-63 win over the Arizona State Sun Devils this past Thursday. Four players on San Diego State scored in the double digits: guard Lamont Butler (14), guard Matt Bradley (12), forward Nathan Mensah (10), and forward Keshad Johnson (10).
Texas-Arlington have to know they’ll be fighting an uphill battle given the 19.50 point spread they are up against. Those betting on them against the spread shouldn’t have high expectations for them since the squad is 0-2 ATS when expected to lose.
Texas-Arlington is now 1-4 while the Aztecs sit at 3-1. A pair of stats to keep an eye on: The Mavericks are stumbling into the contest with the 49th most points allowed per game in college basketball, having given up 76.8 on average. San Diego State has experienced some struggles of their own as they are 50th worst in college basketball in points per game, with only 63.7 on average. It’s possible one of these Achilles’ heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
