New Mexico vs. Utah State

Utah State is 25-6, but the Aggies still have great motivation to do well in the conference tournament as there is never a guarantee that the NCAA committee will take two teams from the Mountain West Conference. New Mexico will be a tired team after coming from behind and outscoring hapless Wyoming 51-30 in the second half to win 78-68. The Lobos face a much stiffer task today after shooting only 35.9 percent against the Cowboys as Utah State has won seven in a row following an overtime win at Colorado State while avoiding a letdown after a huge home win against Nevada. The Lobos are only 11-19 ATS and finished tied for seventh in the MWC. The Aggies beat New Mexico by two on the road and then blew out the Lobos 71-55 in the rematch. Play Utah State.
