Missouri St. -8 vs. San Diego St.
Game Time: 3/14/2007 10:00:00 PM
By: Al McMordie
Look for an indifferent San Diego State team to lose its fourth straight game against the spread as it travels to Missouri State for this NIT matchup.
Our complimentary selection is on the Missouri State Bears minus the points over San Diego State, as Steve Fisher's Aztecs fall into a negative 7-24 system against the spread.
What we want to do is play against any National Invitational Tournament road underdog priced from +1½ to +11½ points off of three ATS losses. Playing in a second-tier tournament is not exciting to most of these participants, and NIT squads off of three ATS losses generally are not playing well to begin with. Now, faced with having to enter a hostile environment against a superior opponent, these teams wilt either because of the pressure or because of lack of interest, and they usually get blown out.
San Diego State failed to cover against Utah, TCU and Colorado State to end the year, and we will look for its season to come to a screeching halt with another non-cover vs. the Bears this evening.
