New Mexico Favored Over New Mexico State in Highly Anticipated In-State Rivalry Game

This upcoming matchup between in-state rivals New Mexico State and New Mexico is anticipated to be a highly competitive game. New Mexico State faces a challenge as they have recently lost five consecutive games, including road losses to Dayton and UNLV, as well as defeats on neutral courts against Pepperdine and Bowling Green this season. Conversely, New Mexico has only suffered losses to St. John’s and Arizona State on a neutral court, and boasts a perfect 5-0 home record with three of those wins coming by double-digit margins.
