What to Know

The New Mexico St. Aggies are on the road again Saturday and play against the Loyola Marymount Lions at 7 p.m. ET Dec. 11 at Albert Gersten Pavilion. These two teams seek to continue their momentum from their previous wins.

The Aggies came out on top in a nail-biter against the New Mexico Lobos on Monday, sneaking past 78-76. The top scorers for New Mexico St. were guard Teddy Allen (20 points) and forward Yuat Alok (19 points).

Meanwhile, even if it wasn't a dominant performance, Loyola Marymount beat the Tulsa Golden Hurricane 60-55 on Tuesday. Guard Eli Scott (19 points) and guard Dameane Douglas (18 points) were the top scorers for the Lions.

Barring any buzzer beaters, New Mexico St. is expected to win a tight contest. Those burned by picking them against the spread on Monday might want to keep in mind that the team has not yet dropped back-to-back games against the spread this season.

New Mexico St. is now 7-2 while Loyola Marymount sits at 6-3. Two stats to keep an eye on: The Aggies are 348th worst in college basketball in takeaways, with only 9.9 on average. The Lions have experienced some struggles of their own as they are stumbling into the contest with the 22nd most turnovers per game in college basketball, having accrued 16.2 on average. It's possible one of these Achilles' heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
