Take San Diego State

Take San Diego State, as it will go into the Thomas and Mack Center and deflate Las Vegas for the next few days, by knocking Sin City's beloved Runnin Rebels from tournament existence.UNLV has shown signs of offensive fatigue all season, and truthfully has been the most inconsistent of the upper echelon in this conference. But it's not the Rebels' fault the Aztecs will be so motivated ... blame Cleveland State.With the Vikings' win over Butler in the Horizon League final, it meant an at-large bid was stolen from one bubble team, and many believe that would be San Diego State.That being said there's plenty of motivation for San Diego State to roll into Vegas and knock off Lon Kruger's bunch, which has a road win at Louisville to its credit. By doing that, the Aztecs raise one eyebrow of the Selection Commmittee. And ensuing win raise the other eyebrows and just a trip to the Mountain Finals could get them back in the mix for a tournament berth.
Take the road underdog in this one, as the Aztecs knock UNLV from the tournament being held in its own house.
