TOM STRYKER’S FREE BASKETBALL SELECTION FRIDAY, MARCH 1ST
#892 UTAH ST (-16′) over Air Force at 11 PM EST
Off a pair of straight up MWC wins over San Diego State and Fresno State, Utah State will have no trouble pounding Air Force in this conference matchup. The Falcons are having all kinds of issues on the court right now holding a pitiful 2-16 SU and 4-14 ATS mark in their last 18 games and this trip to the unfriendly confines of the Dee Glen Smith Spectrum in Logan, Utah, will be too much for the Flyboys to handle.
Historically speaking, USU has played extremely well against the AFA inking an elite 16-4 SU and 15-5 ATS mark in its last 20 games. In this situation checking in with steam off a straight up win, the Aggies improve to a nearly perfect 10-1 SU and ATS. Also, Mountain West Conference home teams that take the floor with steam off a straight up victory hold a reliable 26-9 SU and 24-11 ATS record provided their opponent owns a team won/loss percentage less than .620. As long as our “play on” side is not off a blowout victory of 14 points or more, this situation improves to a solid 21-6 SU and ATS. Utah State (and Nevada) fit both parts of that angle perfectly this evening.
Dating all the way back to January 18th, 2020, Air Force has been in a funk inking a dismal 42-85 SU and 55-71-1 ATS record in its last 127 games. In this run battling a conference foe, the Falcons fall to a woeful 33-53-1 ATS including an ugly 7-36 SU and 14-28-1 ATS provided they played in the comforts of home last. With those three parameters live and the Flyboys facing an opponent that owns a team won/loss percentage of .540 or better, this angle falls to a miserable 3-29 SU and 8-23-1 ATS.
Offensively, the AFA has scored less than 50 points in two of its last three games and they will struggle on the road matched up against a USU defense that surrenders an average of only 69.4 points per game. Take Utah State. Thanks and best of luck, Tom.
