San Diego State vs. New Mexico prediction, picks
Odds via SportsLine consensus
The Pit is one of the toughest places to play in college basketball. San Diego State won a game in a hostile road environment at Boise State last weekend, but this will be a different challenge. New Mexico star Donovan Dent averages 19.3 points per game and is one of the best guards in the country. This game will go down to the wire, but I’ll give the edge to New Mexico because of its home-court advantage. Pick: New Mexico -3
