Who’s Playing
Long Beach State @ San Diego State
Current Records: Long Beach State 2-4; San Diego State 4-2
What to Know
The Long Beach State Beach will square off against the San Diego State Aztecs on the road at 10 p.m. ET on Tuesday at Viejas Arena at Aztec Bowl. Long Beach State should still be riding high after a victory, while the Aztecs will be looking to right the ship.
The Beach have more to be thankful for after their matchup against the Wright State Raiders last Wednesday. Long Beach State netted an 85-76 win.
Meanwhile, the contest between San Diego State and the Southern California Trojans last week was not particularly close, with San Diego State falling 58-43. One thing holding San Diego State back was the mediocre play of guard Trey Pulliam, who did not have his best game: he finished with 11 points on 4-for-10 shooting in his 34 minutes on the court.
Long Beach State have to know they’ll be fighting an uphill battle given the 19.50 point spread they are up against. Those who got lucky with them against the spread last week might want to hold off on placing bets this time since the team has yet to string together back-to-back wins against the spread.
The Beach’s victory brought them up to 2-4 while the Aztecs’ loss pulled them down to a reciprocal 4-2. A pair of stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: Long Beach State is 356th worst in college basketball in points allowed per game, with 86.8 on average. San Diego State has experienced some struggles of their own as they are stumbling into the game with the 25th fewest points per game in college basketball, having accrued only 62.5 on average. It’s possible one of these Achilles’ heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
