Their third game was away against the Stanford Cardinal (74-62).

San Diego State Aztecs vs Ohio State Buckeyes: Prediction
Darrion Trammell has been consistent for the Aztecs so far. He is averaging close to 20 points per game and the team needs a similar kind of performance from him tonight. Jaedon LeDee has been impressive coming off the bench as well. He managed to score in double-digits twice. More contributions from other players are needed to secure a win.
This will be their first outing in the league and the competition between the two teams looks really tight. It will be very difficult to declare a clear winner right away, but only because the Aztecs are hosting the game. This gives them a slight advantage in the game. Expect a close contest.
Final Prediction: San Diego State Aztecs -5 (105) and Total Under 139 (-110)
