Both of these teams play at a slow tempo, highlighted by a Houston team that's 354th in adjusted tempo (per KenPom) out of 364 teams. San Diego State is 282nd. Defensively, the Cougars are third in adjusted defensive efficiency. They allow 57.0 points per game and only two teams have reached 60 points against them. Ditto an Aztecs team that's 11th in adjusted defensive efficiency and has only allowed two opponents to touch the 60-point mark. Great defenses and slow teams will combine for a grueling, low-scoring game. Take the under.
