\"America<\/a>
The New Mexico Lobos return 66.1 percent of their scoring from a year ago<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Davidson begins a stretch of six straight away from home, as it takes part in ESPN\u2019s 24 hours of College Hoops Marathon.\u00a0 The Wildcats have compiled a dominating 51-29 record in road games since the 2006-07 campaign, but that doesn\u2019t mean they should be one of your college basketball picks on Tuesday, as they\u2019ve gone 8-20 ATS over the last two-plus years in that situation.\u00a0 Returning all five starters and its top eight scorers and rebounders from a season ago makes this team dangerous.\u00a0 Davidson is 0-2 ATS as a road underdog of 3.5 to 6 points.<\/p>\n

The Wildcats are led by forward De\u2019Mon Brooks offensively, as he was voted Preseason Player of the Year by the Southern Conference\u2019s 12 head coaches.\u00a0 He led four Davidson players in double figures with 24 points in the team\u2019s 93-67 win over Emory on Friday night.\u00a0 Davidson has won 19 of its last 23 games dating back to the last game of the 2011 calendar year.<\/p>\n

New Mexico returns eight lettermen and three starters from last year\u2019s squad that went 28-7 and advanced to the NCAA Tournament\u2019s third round.\u00a0 The Lobos return 66.1 percent of their scoring, 56.4 percent of their rebounding and 84.1 percent of their assists from a season ago.\u00a0 It\u2019s still important to note that leading scorer and rebounder Drew Gordon will certainly be missed.\u00a0 New Mexico is 34-16 ATS as a favorite since 2010, with the OVER going 25-23 in that situation.<\/p>\n

The Lobos have won at least 12 non-conference games in four of their last five seasons under head coach Steve Alford, which includes a 14-2 mark last year.\u00a0 New Mexico\u2019s returning players have a grand total of 512 games played, with only five foul outs in those contests.\u00a0 It all starts on the defensive end for this program, as it limited opponents to 59.3 points per game and a .384 field goal percentage a season ago.\u00a0 The program has won 126 games over the last five years, marking the winningest five-year period in school history.<\/p>\n

Sports bettors will likely back the Lobos due to their 10-2 ATS mark in non-conference action, while the Wildcats are 0-4 ATS in that role.<\/p>\n
