UC San Diego vs Utah State Preview<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
On a night when North Carolina is taking on Florida, Clemson travels to South Carolina and Villanova is hosting Seton Hall, this game has the potential to steal the show. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Utah State is still undefeated, and while the Aggies have not played an overly-difficult schedule, they do have three wins over teams inside KenPom’s top-85: Iowa, North Texas and Saint Bonaventure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Utah State is coming off an 88-67 home win over South Florida on Saturday. That unbeaten run will be put to the test against a UC San Diego team that is on a seven-game win streak of its own. It’s been a full calendar month since the Tritons lost to Seattle, and they have won-and-covered every game since. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Like Utah State, UC San Diego has not played an overly-difficult schedule, but the Tritons do have some nice wins over La Salle, James Madison, Toledo and UC-Santa Barbara. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
UC San Diego just played at Idaho on Sunday, so this is a relatively short turnaround for the Tritons. We are going to take a look at the over in this contest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
UC San Diego vs Utah State Prediction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Utah State is averaging 95.1 points per game at home so far this season, and there’s still room for more. The Aggies are only shooting 31.7-percent from three-point range this season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Two years ago, they were top-15 in the country at 37.9-percent. Senior guard Ian Martinez is shooting 33.3-percent from three-point range this season after shooting 40.3-percent and 38.5-percent his previous two years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
There’s room for improvement in that department, and UC San Diego’s defense may allow it. Opponents are shooting 38.5-percent from beyond the arc against the Tritons so far this season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Opponents are scoring 41.7-percent of their points against UC San Diego from the three-point line, which is top-10 (or bottom-10 in San Diego’s case) in the country. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Tritons have scored 80+ points in five-straight games, and that includes three games away from home. We should see some fireworks in this one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
