What to Know
The New Mexico Lobos haven’t won a contest against the Utah State Aggies since Feb. 29 of 2020, but they’ll be looking to end the drought Tuesday. New Mexico and Utah State will face off in a Mountain West battle at 10 p.m. ET at Dee Glen Smith Spectrum. Neither of those teams managed to put together many points in their previous contests, so their meeting could be a low-scoring affair.
The Lobos received a tough blow on Sunday as they fell 71-55 to the San Jose State Spartans. The top scorer for New Mexico was guard Jamal Mashburn Jr. (17 points).
Meanwhile, the matchup between Utah State and the Boise State Broncos this past Saturday was not particularly close, with Utah State falling 68-57. Forward Justin Bean had a pretty forgettable game, finishing with only six points on 3-for-10 shooting in his 30 minutes on the court.
New Mexico have to know they’ll be fighting an uphill battle given the 12 point spread they are up against. The odds have been favorable for them against the spread on the road this season, even if it’s been tough sledding overall. They are 6-3 ATS in away games but only 15-8-2 all in all.
The losses put the Lobos at 11-16 and the Aggies at 15-13. Two numbers to keep in mind before tip-off: New Mexico has allowed their opponents to shoot 45.30% from the floor on average, which is the 52nd highest shooting percentage allowed in college basketball. Utah State’s offense has more to brag about, as they they enter the game with a 47.90% field goal percentage, good for 22nd best in college basketball. So the cards are definitely stacked in their favor.
