The set-up: New Mexico will be out to atone for a 91-76 loss at Colorado State on Saturday as two-point favorite. The Lobos fell to 2-2 in MWC action with the setback. SDSU enters off a pathetic 62-48 loss to Air Force as a 5.5 point road favorite this weekend to also fall to 2-2 in league play. The Aztecs ply managed 16 first half points and I think they'll have trouble with their offensive play today as well against this focused Lobos side.

The pick: Take it for what you will as well, but the Lobos have seen the total dip "under" in seven of their last nine overall, while SDSU has seen the total go "under" in 11 of the last 15 in this series. The conditions and the trends point to the "under" as the correct call in this one.

8*
