The Coach's NCAAB MAUI INVITATIONAL *Top Selection*
(NCAAB) San Diego State vs. Arizona, 11/26/2014 5:00 PM, Score: 59 - 61
Point Spread: -4.50 | -105.00 Arizona (Home)
Result: Loss
The San Diego State Aztecs are off to a 5-0 start, but tonight they face an Arizona team that has owned them in recent seasons. The Aztecs have actually struggled at times despite their perfect start, and I think their unbeaten run comes to an end against a superior Wildcats team tonight.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Shooting Percentage - The Wildcats are shooting 50% from the field so far, giving them a big edge on the Aztecs who are shooting just over 40%. While San Diego State won three straight prior to Monday night's game versus BYU, they had been really struggling shooting just 35.8% from the field in those games.

2. Defense - Arizona's Rondae Hollis-Jefferson is one of the country's top defenders, and he had three blocks in the win over K-State last night.

3. X-Factor - The Wildcats have won their last three meetings with San Diego State, by an average margin of over five points.

Selection: This is a play on the Arizona Wildcats (10*)
