New Mexico vs Clemson Prediction

The Lobos were on the bubble heading into the Mountain West tournament, but they won four games in four days to capture the automatic bid.

New Mexico went through the final five weeks of the regular season not winning consecutive games, while not owning any signature wins outside the MWC.

Clemson posted some questionable losses this season to the likes of Georgia Tech and Notre Dame, but the Tigers also knocked off Alabama, North Carolina, TCU, and South Carolina.

The last time the Tigers won a tournament game was 2018, while the Lobos haven't won since 2014 at the Big Dance.

New Mexico did pick up several big wins against conference foes, but also owned middle-of-the-pack numbers both offensively and defensively inside MWC play.

This marks the second MWC-ACC matchup after Colorado State dominated Virginia in the First Four on Tuesday. However, the gap between New Mexico and Clemson in KenPom rankings is closer than CSU and UVA.

Pick: Clemson +2 (-110)
