NEW MEXICO VS. NEVADA PICK
Home teams have dominated in the conference at home this year, but the Lobos match up well.
The Lobos hold a large advantage in this game at the guard position.
New Mexico has too much offensive firepower for the Wolf Pack to keep pace with.
Nevada lost 89-55 the last time these two teams played, and while I expect this game to be closer tonight, the Lobos will take care of business.
