(NCAAB) San Diego State vs. San Jose State, 02/07/2017 6:00 PM, Score: 71 - 76
Point Spread: -6.50 | -105.00 San Diego State (Away)
Result: Loss
San Jose State is much improved. But I don't see the Spartans winning a season-high third consecutive game.

San Diego State has won five of seven since opening 0-3 in the Mountain West. Its two losses were by a combined four points. The Aztecs have a plus 34 scoring margin.

The buy sign is on them here with San Jose State in a letdown spot and the Aztecs expected to have Zylan Cheatham, Malik Pope and Max Hoetzel all playing. San Diego State beat San Jose State, 76-61, on Jan. 10. The Aztecs are a level higher than the Spartans, good enough to win by double-digits again especially with a full lineup.

The Spartans are off a huge 78-68 road win against New Mexico this past Saturday. They were 10 1/2-point 'dogs in that game. That was their first victory ever against the Lobos in 14 tries.
