New Mexico State is 3-0 in Conference USA action and has won seven in a row. They're the only unbeaten team in the conference and come off an 85-57 road win at UTEP. Senior Christian Cook (15.4 ppg) leads the team in scoring while 6-7 senior Robert Carpenter (12 ppg, 6.5 rpg) and senior Peter Filipovity (12 pg, 7.4 rpg) are a handful up front. The defense is outstanding allowing 38.8% shooting (20th nationally) and just 29.6% from 3-point land. In their first three conference games, the Aggies have allowed 58.7 points per game with a +20.7 scoring margin. Florida International was last in the conference (5-11) a year ago and is in last place again after dropping three of its four C-USA tilts. The offense turns it over 14 times per game, and they're second to last in Conference USA in field goal shooting on offense and defense. New Mexico State has won seven of the eight all-time meetings, with the wagering value on the visitors to win the game. Play New Mexico State on the moneyline.
