The upcoming college hoops betting action for the 2024-25 season continues with a highly anticipated Mountain West Conference clash between New Mexico and Utah State. This will be the first meeting between the two teams this season, with both teams splitting a two-game set in the previous season.

Their most recent win was a narrow 75-73 triumph over UNLV, where they showcased solid shooting but struggled with three-pointers and free throws. Junior guard Donovan Dent led the team with 34 points, while senior center Nelly Junior Joseph contributed with 22 points and 18 rebounds. The Lobos have been performing well both offensively and defensively, ranking 19th in offense and 215th in defense.

Utah State Aggies Analysis

The Utah State Aggies secured a victory against UNLV in a close game, avenging a previous loss to the Rebels. Despite failing to cover the spread, the Aggies showed strong offensive performance, led by senior guard Deyton Albury. They rely heavily on senior guard Ian Martinez and sophomore Mason Falslev for scoring. In terms of overall performance, the Aggies rank 31st in offense and 55th in defense, with a power ranking of 62. They have a solid field goal percentage and a high rate of three-pointers made. Defensively, they are effective at limiting opponents' three-point shooting. Overall, Utah State is a strong team with a solid record and a solid standing in the NCAA NET Rankings.

Lobos Expected to Outperform Aggies with Strong Defense and Offensive Attack

I anticipate that the Lobos will have a strong performance and cover the spread against the Aggies due to their impressive defensive capabilities. New Mexico's defense, particularly their ability to secure defensive rebounds, has proven effective in limiting opponents' scoring opportunities. Nelly Junior Joseph has played a key role in this regard. In addition, Utah State's vulnerabilities in defending inside shots may work in favor of the Lobos, who excel at attacking the rim. It is worth noting that the Aggies' solid 3-point shooting may provide them with an advantage as the game progresses. Overall, I foresee a competitive matchup between these two teams.
