Men's basketball vs. NMSU 12/12 7 pm


Recommended Posts

NMSU is our last remaining non-conference opponent in the Pomeroy top 200, thanks to its upset victory on the road against in-state rival UNM to come out of a 5 game losing streak, the last being a 78-70 loss at home to Abilene Christian, which is decidedly not a quality team this year.

NMSU has the fouliest bunch of big men in the country.  Two Tshimangas and a Nnamoko, three guys who have combined for 70 fouls in 266 total minutes this year.  They combined for 12 fouls in 30 minutes against Dayton.  Neat trick that.  They do rebound well when they aren't knocking opponents over, and they make it hard to shoot inside, but best shot blocker Nnamoko missed the UNM game. 

NMSU can't shoot from anywhere and doesn't force turnovers, so if we can hold our own on the glass and make a decent % of ft (always challenges with this team), this shouldn't be that hard of a game to win.
