This is the time of the year where it might be time to throw out some of the records. The Spartans are riding high after their upset victory yesterday, and have reason to believe they can hang with the Lobos tonight.

New Mexico beat San Jose State when they last met at the end of January, but it took a shootout to get into the win column. Lobos guard Jake Hall scored 27 points, while Garland poured in 24 for the Spartans. Given that both players are near the top of the leaderboard in points per game in the Mountain West, there’s no reason to think they can’t light it up again.

It would be bold to predict San Jose State springing a second straight upset, but stranger things have happened. Given these programs’ ability to put the ball in the basket, the over feels like a safer play from a betting perspective.

Prediction: New Mexico 84, San Jose State 78

Best Bet: Over 152.5
