What to Know
Get ready for a Mountain West battle as the #22 San Diego State Aztecs and the New Mexico Lobos will face off at 10 p.m. ET Saturday at The Pit. San Diego State will be seeking to avenge the 76-67 loss they suffered the last time these two teams played January 14th.
The Aztecs strolled past the Colorado State Rams with points to spare on Tuesday, taking the contest 77-58. Five players on San Diego State scored in the double digits: forward Jaedon LeDee (14), guard Matt Bradley (13), guard Micah Parrish (12), guard Lamont Butler (11), and guard Darrion Trammell (11).
Meanwhile, New Mexico was within striking distance but couldn't close the gap on Wednesday as they fell 82-77 to the Boise State Broncos. Guard Jamal Mashburn Jr. had a pretty forgettable game, finishing with only seven points on 2-for-15 shooting in his 34 minutes on the court.
Barring any buzzer beaters, San Diego State is expected to win a tight contest. They covered a ten-point spread on Tuesday, so bettors might be thinking that will translate to further success against a lower spread.
San Diego State's win lifted them to 22-5 while New Mexico's loss dropped them down to 20-8. On Tuesday San Diego State relied heavily on Lamont Butler, who had 11 points and five assists. It will be up to New Mexico's defense to limit his damage.
