San Diego St. -3 v Long Beach State U
------
Long beach has a few things in their favor. They are very tough mentally, they have a great backcourt, they have an experienced veteran team, they have a ton of momentum from their win the other night against #9 Pitt on their home floor and they know San Diego St very well.
Unfortunately for them , this is a bad matchup for Long Beach.
They are playing a team that can defend very well, they are quick, and most importantly they are a very good match up for LBSU. San Diego State has only lost to Baylor, who is clearly the best team either of these squads has seen thus far. State hung in their with Baylor but fell behind in the second half due to a lack of depth in size, and even more so due to the fact that they had played 3 games prior to the Baylor game. SDSU has completely taken the rust off and are now performing like the team most expect them to be, a team looking for a 8-14 seed in the tournament. Long Beach has only played 2 games so far this season, and they will not be successful tonight against San Diego.
