New Mexico has the advantage in this game especially being at home in the Pit, a very tough place to win at. Both these teams are riding streaks and this will be a tough matchup with a ranked team playing an unranked team, but New Mexico just plays its strongest games here at home. Utah State has owned the series between the two but this game features one of the better New Mexico teams in a while who have a really good defense and offense, good at rebounding and handling the ball well. This is one game that Utah State won't win and New Mexico will win and cover.
