The Aztecs postseason position should be secure but this win would only help. It would give them an outside shot at the Mountain West regular season crown and a sweep over the Lobos for the season – they are the only ranked team they have beaten this year. <\/p>\n

[ad-6571516]<\/p>\n The amazing thing is that this team might not have reached its ceiling yet as their top three players are 2 juniors and a sophomore.<\/p>\n Those players would be the backcourt of Kendall Williams and Tony Snell and beastly center Alex Kirk. \u00a0I like this team\u2019s depth too with 8 players averaging more than 15 minutes a game.<\/p>\n They don\u2019t overwhelm you with talent but they make you work and wear you down.<\/p>\n It was on the road but the last time these two teams played New Mexico scored just 34 points – that has to give you some pause. By comparison, in a record setting game at CSU Williams scored 46 all on his own.<\/p>\n What level will he and his team play at in this important rematch? \u00a0Are they ready to once again rise to the occasion as they have done all season long?<\/p>\n Spread Pick: \u00a0San Diego State +5<\/strong> Aztecs vs Lobos CBB Basketball Spread\/Handicapping The Aztecs postseason position should be secure but this win would only help.
