The University of New Mexico said Tuesday that its two men's basketball games against rival New Mexico State won't be played this season, a decision that came in the wake of a shooting over the weekend involving one Aggies player.
The teams had been scheduled to play in Albuquerque this past Saturday and then in Las Cruces on Dec. 3.
Mike Peake, a starting power forward for the Aggies, was shot early Saturday after being "lured" to the University of New Mexico campus -- where NMSU was scheduled to play that night -- by four students there, state police said earlier this week.
