New Mexico State at Clemson

New Mexico State is making its sixth trip to the NCAA Tournament in seven years as new coach Chris Jans has done an excellent job in not only acquiring top-notch talent, but also blending the new players into a cohesive unit. Zach Lofton, last year's SWAC Player of the Year with Texas Southern, leads the Aggies with a 19.7 scoring average and Jemerrio Jones contributes 11.0 points and 13.2 rebounds per game. The Aggies have won six in a row and cruised through the WAC Tournament capped by a 72-58 win over preseason favorite Grand Canyon. Clemson has lost five of its last eight games and lost its star player, Donte Grantham, to a knee injury in January. The Tigers are 1-4 ATS their last five games following a loss and 1-4 ATS their last five NCAA Tournament games. The Aggies have averaged 84.2 points their last five games.
