San Diego State-FAU Odds: Who Has the Edge in Final 4?
Per DraftKings Sportsbook, San Diego State (-2) opens as a slight favorite to defeat FAU and reach the championship of the NCAA Tournament. The Aztecs are -130 favorites on the moneyline. The over/under is set at 132.
FAU has enjoyed their Cinderella run through the NCAA Tournament after beating Memphis on the last possession of the opening round. They have taken down Fairleigh Dickinson, Tennessee and Kansas State to reach the Final Four. FAU used a balanced scoring attack to overcome 30 points from KSU point guard Markquis Nowell, winning 79-76 in a thrilling back-and-forth game on Saturday night.
“We’ve had spurts in us all year, and we had been on one in the first half,” FAu head coach Dusty May said, via ESPN. “So just staying the course, hang around, hang around, and then we always have a run. And because of our depth, our guys believe that we can play harder for longer periods than all of our opponents. And it may or may not be true, but we believe it.”
For San Diego State, it has been a run propelled by elite defense, which was the case once again against Creighton on Sunday. While frustrating Creighton’s perimeter shooters all game long, the Aztecs were able to hang around before taking the lead on a free throw by Darrion Trammel on the last possession of the game.
The San Diego State-FAU game features two vastly different styles, which should make for a fun Final 4 matchup. The latest odds show that another wild finish could be in store.
