In the battle of the Rio Grande, New Mexico got big nights from Tim Williams and Elijah Brown to pull away from the New Mexico State Aggies. Brown, who has struggled to start the season, led UNM with 19 points and a spirited 8 rebounds while the ever-consistent Williams chipped in 18 points of his own. Other key contributors include Sam Logwood (12 points), freshman guard Damien Jefferson (7 points) and Joe Fvrstinger (7 points).
This game was a lot closer than the 72-59 final score indicates.
