The Utah State Aggies have raced to the top of the Mountain West Conference standings. They’re 4-0 after rallying from behind to beat UNLV on the road by one point this past weekend. Utah State has also defeated Colorado State at home, the best win of the four in conference play. The Aggies have gotten the jump on New Mexico and their other competitors in the conference race. Other teams have stumbled at least once if not twice. Utah State could take a really big step toward the conference championship if it can beat New Mexico on the road in Albuquerque. When New Mexico is good — and this season the Lobos are good — winning on the road in The Pit is one of the toughest tasks in college basketball.
This is a big-time showcase game in the Mountain West, with Utah State entering this game 16-1 and New Mexico checking in at 14-3. You won’t find many better games than this one on the Tuesday night slate in college hoops. It’s a huge opportunity for Utah State to create separation in the conference, and an important night for New Mexico in its attempt to get back into the thick of the conference race.

Why Utah State Could Cover the Spread
The Aggies are 4-0 in their conference, and that doesn’t happen by accident. Utah State has shown a lot of poise in its wins over Colorado State and UNLV. This team responds well to adversity and is able to handle in-game moments which don’t go well. Being able to find a knack for coming through in tense, stressful situations is something not every college basketball team manages to grasp. Utah State has grasped that fine art, and that’s a very important thing for bettors to keep track of. When we also realize that Utah State is still getting 5.5 points instead of giving them, it’s even easier to take USU. This game does figure to be close, and Utah State has more of a margin for error from a pure betting standpoint. That’s a very attractive line of thought for a bettor to consider.
Why New Mexico Could Cover the Spread
The Lobos are only 2-2 in the Mountain West while Utah State is 4-0. That might seem like a reason to take Utah State, but it’s actually a great reason to go with the Lobos. They badly need this game in terms of the conference race. If they lose, they will fall three games behind USU and won’t be able to play the Aggies at home later in the season. They wouldn’t be eliminated from the MWC race, but they would absorb a huge blow. New Mexico is more likely to be the more desperate team in this game. Utah State, meanwhile, is 4-0 and is not likely to go through the league unbeaten. If there was a likely spot for USU to lose a game, this is it, right here. Moreover, Utah State struggled at UNLV and was fortunate to come out of that game with a win. New Mexico will be a tougher nut for Utah State to crack.
Final Utah State-New Mexico Prediction & Pick
New Mexico urgently needs this game. That urgency will carry the Lobos here. Take UNM.
Final Utah State-New Mexico Prediction & Pick: New Mexico -5.5

The Canyon Venado Fire has grown to 852 acres east of Clines Corners and crews say wind farms in the area are threatened.
CLINES CORNERS, N.M. – The Canyon Venado Fire has grown to 852 acres east of Clines Corners and crews say wind farms in the area are threatened.
The fire is burning just east of Clines Corners, south of Interstate 40.
It forced the closure of eastbound Interstate 40 at Clines Corners on Tuesday night. I-40 reopened Tuesday night. I-40 is back open but smoke still affects visibility.
“We’re on the side of I-40 so drivers have to be pretty cautious. As far as our establishment itself we’re pretty isolated by the freeway itself as a nice fire break,” said Lincoln Tarantino, Clines Corner general manager.
The fire has burned around 852 acres, up from just 20 at this time Monday.
Crews say the fire is not contained and wind farms in the area are threatened.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – Seniors at Manzano Mesa Multigenerational Center say broken air conditioning has left the gym above 80 degrees during peak summer heat.
Angi Gonzales Carver said she goes to the center almost every day and now worries the heat could cancel classes for seniors, adults and kids.
The city said three HVAC roof units at the center need replacement. The city said those units are 20 years old and crews have put in one portable cooler and two fans for now.
“I have a temperature measure, and it was 88 and that was without people,” said Angi Gonzales Carver.
Carver says the center recently posted a warning sign saying staff will cancel classes and activities if the gym gets hotter than 78 degrees.
“A lot of them have to sit down and they’re they’re fanning themselves,” said Carver.
The city considers all multigenerational centers cooling centers, including Manzano Mesa. The city says it plans to add two more portable units next week while it works to restore the air conditioning.
“I mean, we, as seniors, we deserve better,” said Carver.
The City’s statement
A city spokesperson gave the following statement regarding the HVAC situation:
“The City is carrying out a planned replacement of the three HVAC roof units at Manzano Mesa Multigenerational Center, which are 20 years old. Portable cooling units support the gym and two additional portable units will be installed next week. All other areas of the facility remain fully air-conditioned and operational.”
