I think Pitt beats Colorado, but I agree with you completely on New Mexico, I have no clue what people are seeing.
I have seen UNM play three times this year. Their two big men Kirk and Bairstow can dominate the paint, especially Bairstow. They have a great guard in Kendall Williams who can drive and shoot the 3 ball. Some of their losses were to tournament teams: UMass(neutral court) at Kansas, New Mexico State, and they beat Cincy at home.
I'm not saying that you shouldn't be cautious with picking them, you should. I just wouldn't put it past them to make a run to the Sweet 16.
It pains me to write this by the way as a alum of NMSU.
