The Missouri St Bears are 10-8 on the season. The Bears should probably have a better record if they could shoot 3's better, as they are connecting at 30% on the season. The other area is their free-throw shooting, which is a rather low 67% on the season. New Mexico St. is 10-7 on the season. These teams are fairly close in terms of stats, but Missouri State is playing much better. The Bears are 6-3 SU and 6-2 ATS in their last 9 games. The Aggies got off to a quick start at 6-0, but have been just 4-8 in their last 12 games. I think the Bears have become the better team, and I will back Missouri St. in this one.
