    NM did, however look like they were going to blow a huge lead to the Rebels.
    Granted they came through in the end by 5 but it didn't look as convincing as some here are touting.
    I'm not touching Long Beach bur I am also not calling this on a lock fo rthe Lobos.

    What a great matchup, the experts seem to lean NM here. They can really defend and are in great form. But be wary because LBSU is a savvy team with lots of experience and are not intimidated by playing anyone and have shown they can play with the best. But I think LBSU here pulls off somewhat of an upset as they have the explosive guard play to excel in the tourney along with a very though and athletic 1-3-1 zone they like to employ. NM is not a lock just because they won the MWC tourney, it means nothing when tourney tips off.

    I only give LBST about a 25% chance to win i think they lose a close one but it think the +5 should be good

    Very impressed with NewMex. recently, sad to say have not seen LBSu nor any other WCC? team this year save for few minutes of Final ... used to love to watch Pacific several years back when they dominated their conf. UNM can win a couple, too bad they didnt pit them against Purdue or WVU or one of the lame-o Colorado teams

    Ive decided to roll with Long Beach St here. I have been riding them all year and they did well for me. I like New Mexico too but I think LBSU will be a little better this game.

    That's what I am thinking. Too bad my 250:1 bet to win it all was limited to $10 on 5dimes.

    Does LB State have any chance of matching Gordon inside?

    I was planning on riding LBSU in the tourney but this is the worst possible matchup for them. Have a better chance of beating Duke IMO

    If I lose, you'll get points about 3 am mountain time as that's when I'm getting home.

    watch how bad NM bench outscores the Long Beach bench, not that they even have one anyway.

    LBSU student here and yes I do believe we have a great chance at pulling an upset. We have played a lot of top teams and they were close games against north car, lousville, kansas, pittsburg. All of the starters are seniors and they have played all 4 years together and this is their last year at a chance to go all the way together. Look out for the upset win

    Very good game. Start was sloppy. Lots of turnovers. Long Beach St had the lead late in the game but Ware just played bad down the stretch. Oh well. Still fun to watch.

    Yeah close game. Maybe we watched a different game but I would say this was a 4 pt game 90% of the game? 4 point game I would consider close. Maybe I'm wrong.

    edit. 4 points or less obviously
