Prediction
First place is on the line Sunday afternoon at The Pit. Both of these teams are heading to the NCAA Tournament and winning the tough Mountain West will only help their seeding. The Lobos won the first meeting by 19 points, but the Aggies won the turnover battle, took more shots and were more efficient in transition. Unfortunately, Utah State shot 5-of-31 from 3-point land. I’m banking on the Aggies to shoot better this time around and keep this one close. Utah State is an impressive 10-1 SU away from home.
Pick: Utah State +5.5
