Meanwhile, the oddsmakers predicted a rough contest for Chicago State on Wednesday, and boy were they were right. They ended up on the wrong side of a painful 85-64 walloping at the Grand Canyon Antelopes' hands.

New Mexico St. is the favorite in this one, with an expected 17-point margin of victory. They might be worth taking a chance on against the spread as they are currently on a two-game streak of ATS wins.

The Aggies' win brought them up to 23-4 while the Cougars' defeat pulled them down to 6-23. Two stats to keep an eye on: New Mexico St. have been holding their opponents to a field goal percentage of 38.80%, which places them 14th in college basketball.

So the cards are definitely stacked against Chicago State.
