No. 19 San Diego State Aztecs (14-2) will look to extend its seven-game winning streak when they hit the road to face New Mexico Lobos (13-3) on Saturday afternoon. Few anticipated the Mountain West Conference to be a six-horse race for the NCAA tournament, but it's turning out to be one, and this game will have a major bearing.
After reaching the national championship last season, the Aztecs are poised for another deep run and have raced out to a 3-0 start to Mountain West play, sitting in a tie with several other teams atop the standings.
Riding on a seven-game win streak in which their offense has averaged 77 points per game, they edged past San Jose State 81-78 on the road in their previous contest Tuesday night.
San Diego State will face a New Mexico Lobos side who have dropped two of their last three games, all in conference play, including an 83-73 loss to UNLV on Tuesday.
The Lobos entered 2024 with a 12-1 record, but back-to-back defeats to Colorado State and UNLV dropped them to 13-3 ahead of their biggest home game of the season.
