UConn vs New Mexico State Prediction | March Madness Picks and Bracketology
Both teams have shown resiliency throughout the season, though New Mexico State gets little credit due to their competition. Still, they deserve more respect than they have been given, as does Teddy Allen, who should make a name for himself in this game.
The tempo will be slow in this game and the points will be hard to come by, especially early on. While I believe UConn will win this game, the Aggies will be nipping at their heels all game long. New Mexico State has only two losses by more than seven points this season, and one came all the way back in November.
I like taking the under most. However, with UConn winning by a score prediction of 68-63, I also like New Mexico State with the points.
Our college basketball betting UConn vs New Mexico State prediction tonight will be the point total going UNDER at BetUS.
For what it’s worth, the ESPN Matchup Predictor gives UConn a 90.2% chance to win.
