Thursday’s smart Sweet 16 bet for UConn vs. San Diego State is against the spread. Let’s lock in for last year’s title rematch with a premium pick from a top-rated angle.
Thursday’s UConn vs. San Diego State line is in range to activate a 57% men’s basketball NCAA Tournament betting system – and the trend strongly highlights defensive teams.
UConn’s defense has allowed fewer than 58 points in all three games since the Big East Championship. Dan Hurley’s reigning national title squad is also hot against the spread: 8-1 the last nine, which includes covering both NCAA Tournament games as large favorites.
San Diego State’s stifling defense let up just 57 points in the Aztecs’ most recent win and cover. Last year, the Huskies covered the spread in a game that also went over the total.
There’s one side in the UConn vs. San Diego State rematch being heavily undervalued when looking at teams which historically cover in this spot. Action Network PRO features a 57%-winning betting model, which is alerted to bet:
- Underdogs in the NCAA Tournament
- Gave up fewer than 60 points the last game
Considering San Diego State’s slot as the (rather large) betting underdog Thursday vs. UConn, it’s the Aztecs matching the 57% defensive trend.
The Mountain West program flat-out put on a defensive clinic in the Round of 32. San Diego State surrendered just 21 first-half points and 37% from the floor overall in an 85-57 rout against Yale.
