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 Wednesday. New Mexico and Utah State will face off in a Mountain West battle at 10:30 p.m. ET at Dee Glen Smith Spectrum. Both teams come into the game bolstered by wins in their previous games.
The Lobos beat the Air Force Falcons 81-73 last week. New Mexico relied on the efforts of guard Jaelen House, who had 19 points along with six steals and five boards, and forward Morris Udeze, who had 15 points in addition to eight rebounds and three blocks.

New Mexico is expected to lose this next one by 4.5. However, those who like betting on the underdog should be happy to hear that they are 4-0 against the spread when expected to lose.
The Lobos are now 19-3 while the Aggies sit at 17-5. A couple offensive numbers to keep in mind before tip-off: New Mexico enters the game with a 49.10% field goal percentage, good for 10th best in college basketball. Utah State is not quite as good, but they are no chumps, either: they rank 18th in college basketball when it comes to field goal percentage, with 48.60% on the season. This one is shaping up to be an exciting offensive shootout.
