This is a 1* Free Play on Clemson.

The New Mexico State Aggies finished 28-5 overall, while the Clemson Tigers were 23-9. Clemson was 11-7 in the ACC and was knocked out in the semifinals of the ACC Tournament by eventual winner Virginia. New Mexico State locked down the No. 1 spot in the regular season and then also grabbed the WAC tournament title for the auto bid to The Big Dance. New Mexico State has won six in a row entering the NCAA Tournament and it ranks fifth nationally in opposing field-goal percentage (39.2) and rebounding margin (9.1), but we still don't think it'll be enough against the Tigers. Clemson is ranked 35th in the country defensively in opposing field goal percentage and its 29th in blocked shots per game (4.9.) Note as well that New Mexico State is a poor 1-4 ATS in its last five NCAA Tournament contests and only 4-10 ATS in its last 14 following an ATS victory, while Clemson is 5-0 ATS in its last five non-conference contests and 4-1 ATS in its last five neutral site affairs. We think the battle hardened ACC powerhouse has the advantage here. Consider laying the points on the TIGERS.
