Coach Richard Pitino comes off a 26-10 season and NCAA tourney bid and looks to have an even better 2025 at 21-4 sitting first place in the Mountain West. The Lobos have a seven-game win streak going on. Utah State has only lost three games this season but they're 11-13 against the spread. That says that they're overrated a bit. After dominating the series, Utah State has some trouble not covering the last three meetings and losing two of them to New Mexico. Utah State has won their last three games but their last loss was to New Mexico 82-63 at Logan, Utah. New Mexico averages 83 points a game and Utah State averages 81. New Mexico to cover.
