New Mexico is looking to not trip up in a road conference game just a few days after defeating BYU at home on Wednesday.  Road wins have been a premium for all Mountain West teams as two of the three Lobo losses have came on the road, and TCU who is not great is 8-4 at home and has a losing record on the road.

To catch up with BYU and keeping pace with UNLV for the conference title New Mexico can not afford a let down against lesser competition against TCU.

TCU is not a real pushover as they have give some good teams trouble with UNLV and Texas Tech, but then they have also been blown out by an equally medicore team in Utah and University of Houston.  The Spitbloods do not have much of an offense to fall back on, however their defense is decent with only giving up 66 per game.

Zvonko Buljan is the Horned Frogs best player as he averages nearly a double double with 13 points and 9 boards a game, and will give his defender fits all night.  The other players that can score -- relative term since the other two scorers average 13 -- are Ronnie Moss and Edvinas Ruzgas.

New Mexico should be able to take care of business with Darrington Hobson who is leading the way for the Lobos, and this win would get the Lobos to their 20th win before February which is huge.

Accuscore obviously has New Mexico winning, but the specifics of that are 71.5 percent of the time New Mexico will win and the average score will be 71.8 to 64.9 per game.
