The No. 8 San Diego State Aztecs return to March Madness for a sixth straight year despite failing to cover in five of their last seven outings.
The Aztecs suffered a disappointing 45-43 loss in the Mountain West Tournament final, losing outright as six-point betting favorites, but still enter the NCAA Tournament with an 8-2 SU record in their last 10 games. They are sightly favored over St. John's, according to midweek betting lines at Sportsbook.
The Aztecs are 3-2 SU and ATS in their last five March Madness contests, and have been pegged as betting favorites in seven of their last nine NCAA Tournament matchups. While the UNDER has prevailed in seven of San Diego State's last nine, the OVER is 6-2 in the Aztecs' last eight March Madness games.
The No. 9 St, John's Red Storm will be looking for their first March Madness victory since 2000. The squad saw their recent 7-1 SU run end with a pair of devastating SU and ATS losses, a 105-68 loss to the Villanova Wildcats in their regular season finale followed by a 74-57 loss to Providence as one-point favorites in the Big East Tournament semi-final.
