Chuck O'Brien MONDAY'S WINNER 20 DIME: NEW MEXICO STATE (minus the points vs. Hawaii)
New Mexico State
BREAKDOWN: New Mexico State is coming off its worst defeat of the Western Athletic Conference season, Thursday’s 83-64 debacle at Fresno State. But the Aggies are still 8-3 in conference play, including 4-1 SU and 3-1-1 ATS at home. And for the season, they’ve won nine of 12 home games. Here’s why that’s a big deal: Hawaii is 0-for-7 when leaving the Islands this year (2-5 ATS), including 0-5 in WAC road games. Those five particular conference road losses have come by an average of 18.2 ppg. … When these teams met three weeks ago in Hawaii, New Mexico came away with a 71-69 win as a one-point road underdog. The Aggies have now won four in a row and seven of eight in this series, and they’re 7-3 ATS in the last 10. … Speaking of pointspread stats, this says it all: New Mexico State is 10-3-1 ATS in its last 14 WAC games and 4-0-1 ATS in its last five when coming off a loss, while Hawaii is 4-9 ATS in its last 13 WAC games, 5-12 ATS in its last 17 against winning teams and 3-9 ATS in its last 12 as an underdog. And even though the Warriors covered in Saturday’s 66-60 loss at Louisiana Tech as a 15-point road underdog, they haven’t cashed in back-to-back games this entire season!
