New Mexico shocks Boise State in final seconds, wins 80-78

Boise State refuses to shake second half problems as the Broncos surrender a 19-2 run in the closing minutes in Albuquerque.

Elijah Brown tallied 26 points and six rebounds to help guide New Mexico (16-10, 9-4) to an improbable comeback victory over Boise State (17-10, 8-6) Wednesday night. Tim Williams added 18 points including 10 free throws, but Brown took over the game down the stretch for Craig Neal's squad. Anthony Drmic had a memorable scoring night for the Broncos, unloading for 30 points (highest total since December of 2013) and drilled six 3s.
