New Mexico lost in the Mountain West Championship semifinals to Boise State, but they still received a bid to the NCAA tournament thanks to their 26-7 overall record and a 17-3 conference record, which sat at the top of the standings. They get a Round of 64 matchup against Marquette, who is struggling, having lost three of their last four games, two of which came versus St. John's.
Kam Jones has had a stellar senior season for the Golden Eagles and is a big reason why they are a part of March Madness. He has scored at least 21 points in four straight games, including a 32 points night against the Red Storm. Jones is averaging 19.3 points per game, tied for 33rd amongst NCAA scoring leaders this year. For Marquette to make a deep run, he must deliver.
New Mexico also has a high-volume bucket-getter on their roster in Donovan Dent. The Junior guard is eighth in the nation in scoring at 20.6 points per game and twelfth in assists with 6.4 a contest. The Lobos heavily rely on his playmaking to get the offense going. Dent has scored double figures in every game this season and has reached the 20-point mark in six straight. New Mexico always has a chance to pull off an upset with Dent at the helm.
