UTEP ? over New Mexico State

The lone loss on the season for Texas-El Paso came at the hands of Texas A&M by just five points. A&M has since proved its worth with dominant wins over Washington and Ohio State. UTEP also has a convincing win over Texas A&M Corpus-Christi, a NCAA Tournament team from a year ago. New Mexico State is just 2-4 on the season and although the schedule looks tough at first glance, teams like West Virginia and Texas are not as strong this season as in the past. The Aggies were really not competitive in most of the losses and opponents are shooting at a very high percentage. Look for the Miners to deliver the win in this early season match-up.
