George Washington Revolutionaries vs. New Mexico Lobos Prediction
I’m on New Mexico here. I think the Lobos are just the better team that’s trying at this point in the year for their coach as Eric Olen continues to put his stamp on New Mexico after a solid tenure at UC San Diego. GW narrowly got by Utah Valley, but going to the Pit which is one of the toughest places to play in all of college basketball is a totally different ball of wax for the Revs and I think the Lobos get it done at home with a win and cover to advance.
