The Lobos have stretched their winning streak to four games with another Mountain West victory.
New Mexico(13-8, 6-3 MW) took a 74-61 victory over Utah State Tuesday night, putting the team just half a game away from a first place standing in the conference.
“We improved (Tuesday),” head coach Craig Neal said. “We are continuing to take one step forward. I’m really happy for the guys.”
The Aggies fell to 8-11 overall and are just 2-6 in conference. Freshman Koby McEwen’s 17-point effort combined with Jalen Moore’s 14 weren’t enough to lift their team to a win.
