SAN DIEGO — No controversy this time.
Elijah Brown scored a game-high 22 points and Tim Williams chipped in 12 points with four game-clinching free throws late to help power the University of New Mexico men's basketball team to a come-from-behind, 68-62 win over San Diego State on New Year's Day.
After dropping a controversy-filled game in their last trip to Viejas Arena in San Diego, the Lobos (9-5 overall, 2-0 Mountain West) avoided the drama on Sunday vs. the Aztecs (8-5, 0-1), rallying from a double-digit deficit to earn their first win at San Diego State since 2012.
