Today’s Best NCAA Basketball Picks: New Mexico vs. Nevada

New Mexico vs. Nevada

This may be a late game for all of you on the east coast, but I recommend staying up to watch this in an underrated matchup between two potential tournament teams. New Mexico is the eighth seed on Bracket Matrix, while Nevada is the second team out. 

New Mexico shines in the interior, with only 21 percent of their points coming from beyond the arc, which ranks 351st lowest in the nation. Nevada’s interior defense will be up for the challenge, ranking 26th best against the mid-range and 51st against near-proximity shots. 

Nevada will take care of the ball and, despite their height, don’t take as many looks inside with their 52nd-ranked offense, ranking 26th in mid-range percentage shooting. Nevada’s defense aligns well with the Lobos’ offense, while the Wolf Pack does not have the firepower to scare me with their scoring. This should be an awesome game, but I expect it to be tough to reach the point total of 148. 

Play: UNDER 147.5
