Troy vs San Diego State Prediction 

San Diego State has only played two games so far this season, but they were dominant on the defensive end of the court in both. The Aztecs have allowed 57 and 45 points in those two games and they are shooting 50% from the field. Troy has lost two games in a row and they just allowed 94 points in their last game. The Trojans are shooting 48% from the field and they are scoring over 87 points per game. These two teams like to play at two very different paces, but I think San Diego State will have no problem scoring into the 80’s here. Take the over in this game.
