This is a huge game for the Lobos as they try and prove they are tournament worthy.  New Mexico is the last team to beat BYU and another win against the highly regarded Cougars should get them in and prove the Mountain West Conference is a real conference to be reckoned with in March.  New Mexico really needs this W as they have struggled of late.  

They won on the weekend against alsoran TCU but before that they lost 4 in a row including an ugly loss against an abnormally weak Utah team.  A strong finish, including a win at BYU would set things up for a great MWC tournament next weekend…but it is a tall order given how well the Cougars are playing right now, especially at home.

What a win for the BYU Cougars on Saturday afternoon.  With all the expectations and everyone watching they got it done on the road even though Jimmer Fredette did not have one of his better games with just 25 points.  Key to the victory were the play of forwards Noah Hartsock and Charles Abouo.  

They were a combined 7 for 9 from three point range and anytime Fredette gets that kind of support this team will be very tough to beat, I don’t care who they are playing.  There is a great revenge factor here which will help motivate BYU to avoid a letdown after beating San Diego State.  

Being at home where the haven’t lost all season will help as well.

Betting Trends:

Lobos are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 road games.
Lobos are 20-8-1 ATS in their last 29 Wednesday games.
Lobos are 4-10 ATS in their last 14 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600.
Cougars are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games vs. a team with a winning S.U. record.
Cougars are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 Wednesday games.
Cougars are 2-11 ATS in their last 13 games following a ATS win.

Free Lobos vs Cougars Pick: Lobos should be able to attack BYU’s biggest weakness with big man Drew Gordon in the post but it just wont be enough to topple the Cougars who should win relatively easily.

Score prediction:   BYU 80 – New Mexico 69
