Utah State vs New Mexico Prediction
These are probably the two best teams in the MWC, so you can argue Utah State and the free bucket. Utah State has 5 road wins this season as well. The problem is the line is soft, and New Mexico is undefeated at home through 12 games. The Pit is one of the most underrated home courts in college basketball, and that’s probably the key edge in this spot. Two teams that have the ability to make noise come March, but home court matters in this spot. I’ll lay the bucket with the Lobos.
