New Mexico is a team that went 13-19 in Pitino's first season, went 22-12 LY and is off to a nice 12-2 start this season. The Lobos two losses were at St Mary’s and at Colorado St The Cowboys Jaelen House missed 6 games due to injury (started L7) but in the last game he played only 19 minutes getting into foul trouble including a technical. Jamal Mashburn JR missed 8 starts and he returned to start the last two so legit starting five have played less than two full games together this season.
New Mexico is one the fastest-paced teams in the country (#16) with an adjusted offensive efficiency of #61 and #30 on D.
Wyoming is 8-6 and not much of a bench. Look for NM to win and win big here on Saturday night!
