Vs. 

Spokane here we come…..
First Spartans face the WAC champions New Mexico State…  Early look at the Aggies…

New Mexico State has not played a top 25 team this year…  Spartans record against the Top 25 is  3 – 5…
This is telling, no game is a cake walk, and no team can be taken for granted   And the way the Spartans have played recently, I am not at ease with the matchup.. but, they should beat them..

NMSU was a three seed going into their tourney… and won beating Utah State...

BMOC for the New Mexico State Aggies is: Jahmar Young  6’5” was named their conference tourney MVP… He also leads the team in points per game(20.5)  and turnovers (2.8).  Hamidu Rahman 6’11” leads the team in blocks ( 1.3) and field goal percentage (54.9). Wendell McKines  6’6” leads the team in rebounds (9.9)

Prediction: I think our Spartans should win…  67 - 46…..  
But I thought they would beat Minnesota also…

Take a look at some stats I copied some stats from StatSheet.com
