The Cougars are also 18th in offensive efficiency, with all five starters averaging double digits in points. 12 seed Charleston, a team that dominated the Colonial Athletic Association and is 13th in the country in defensive efficiency. It seems like San Diego State is a staple of March Madness but hasn't made it past the first round during the Brian Dutcher era and should be on upset watch against No. That versatility and the ability to adapt to any situation makes them my pick, and being able to back them at +1,200 is good value.
