Premium Pick

This is the third game in four days for both teams, a long way from home in Hawaii. USC coach Andy Enfield has started a different lineup in six straight games because of injuries. The short-handed Trojans are playing without dynamic guard De'Anthony Melton, who did not make the trip to Honolulu, while guard Jonah Mathews has missed two of the past three contests with a sprained right ankle and is day-to-day. USC is 55-35 UNDER the total after allowing 80+ points and faces a strong New Mexico State defense. New Mexico State recorded its first victory over a ranked team in ten years with Saturday's 63-54 win over previously unbeaten Miami. They allowed 34% shooting and Miami was just 2-of-18 from long range. The Aggies are holding opponents to 64.5 points per game with a rebounding margin of plus 8.81, eighth best nationally. New Mexico State is on a 34-16-1 run UNDER the total, including 27-9-1 UNDER in neutral site games. Play this game to stay UNDER the total.
