3 Star Selection
05:00 PM Pacific Time
***NEW MEXICO 75 Santa Clara 57
Both of these teams return 4 of 5 starters from last year’s squad,
including their star players, so I expect similar improvement from
each this season. With that being the case, it makes sense to look at
last season’s ratings to determine that New Mexico should be favored
by 9 points in this game. Using numbers for the whole season would
result in a lower number, but the Lobos were horrible early in the
season until transfer Granger and DeVries joined the team in late-
December. Danny Granger is the Mountain West Conference’s best
player, averaging 19.5 points and 9.0 rebounds while DeVries added 11
points per game and gave the Lobos an outside shooting threat (45% 3-
pointers) to loosen things up inside for Granger. Aside from having a
bit of line value on our side, the Lobos apply to a solid 64-24-2 ATS
game 2 situation while Santa Clara applies to a negative 29-63-3 ATS
unrested road team angle (it’s a bit better if the home team also
played the previous night, which New Mexico did). New Mexico was 10-4
ATS at home last season with Granger playing and Santa Clara has a
history of not playing as well early in the season, and the Broncos
are just 5-15 ATS in their last 20 on their opponent’s home floor.
New Mexico is a solid 3-Star Best Bet.
Downgrade New Mexico to a 2-Star Best Bet if they become a
favorite of more than 9 points.
