LAST TIME OUT
A huge offensive turnaround thanks to career-high 31 points from AJ Harris and season-high 20 points from Terrell Brown saw the New Mexico State men's basketball team outlast Battle of I-25 rival New Mexico in front of 14,393 hostile fans at Dreamstyle Arena.
 
With the win, NM State extends its win-streak against UNM to four-straight. The last time the Aggies won four-straight against the Lobos came during the 1993-94 seasons. Coach Jans is now 6-0 in rivalry games since taking the helm.
 
The Aggie lead was as high as 19 points at one point before holding on to the 98-94 victory. In addition to the breakout offensive night from Harris and Brown, Mohamed Thiam finished with nine points and nine rebounds on 4-of-7 shooting – including a pair of big jams. Eli Chuha chipped in with seven points and seven boards while Ivan Aurrecoechea and Jabari Rice added seven points of their own. NM State's bench continues to be productive, scoring 48 of the 98 points.
 
UP NEXT
Another rivalry contest awaits NM State as it heads down the road to take on Battle of I-10 rival UTEP in the Don Haskins Center on Wednesday, Nov. 28, at 7 p.m. (MT). Head coach Chris Jans will look to join legendary head coach Lou Henson as the only coaches in program history to sweep UTEP in their first two seasons at the helm.
