UL Monroe at New Mexico

The UL-Monroe Warhawks have been very slow out of the gate on the road this season, averaging just 27.7 points in the first half of their road games. New Mexico has also been slow offensively in the first half, averaging 32.5 per game on the season in the first half. That's been dropping as over their last five that average is down to 31.4. And, both of these teams play lights-out defense. The Warhawks are giving up just 27.6 per game in the first half while the Lobos are averaging only 25.9 per game allowed. In his coaching career, Monroe head man Keith Richard is 25-11 UNDER in the first-half of non-conference road games. And, since taking over at New Mexico, Craig Neal is 18-8 UNDER in the first-half as a favorite. Take this game to start out slow and go with the first-half UNDER.
