College Basketball Betting Picks: Utah State vs. San Jose State: January 22nd 2009

January 22nd, 2009

Free Pick: Utah State -4.5 (-110) – Thu January 22nd 2009 10:00p
The Utah State Aggies have now won 12 straight games to improve to 17-1 straight up for the season with the only loss being by five points vs. BYU, and we look for them to stay hot when they visit the San Jose State Spartans tonight.

The only reason that Utah State is not ranked right now is because they play in the WAC, a conference that is currently ranked number 12 in the Pomeroy Ratings. However, the pollsters may have no choice but to take notice if Utah State goes undefeated again this week.

After all, the Aggies are averaging 1.177 points per possession, which ranks them first in the entire country in raw offensive efficiency. They are also 6-0 in their true road games as the loss to BYU was on neutral ground, and most impressively, Utah State is winning those road contests by an average of +10.2 points.

While the Aggies have been efficient, San Jose State has virtually no perimeter game, as evidenced by their low 28.2 percent success rate on three-point shots, and they also turn the ball over too much for our liking. In fact, they have turned the ball over on 22.7 percent of their offensive possessions, ranking them a poor 263 in turnover percentage.

Thus, this is not a team built to come from behind, and that should be their death blow tonight vs. a Utah State team playing with a chip on its collective shoulder after getting shunned again by the pollsters this week.
