SAN DIEGO — If getting their first conference win of the season last week against San Jose State in the Pit got the monkey off the backs of the UNM Lobos, King Kong climbed back on Monday night.
The San Diego State Aztecs used size, physicality, experience and elite defense to thoroughly beat the UNM Lobos on Monday, 72-47, in front of an announced Viejas Arena crowd of 10,951.
“That’s just a really good look at what a championship-caliber team really looks like — the physicality, the discipline, the chemistry,” said Lobos guard K.J. Jenkins, the 6-2 guard who finished with team highs in points (16) and rebounds (9).
