Redshirt junior forward Tim Williams, hangs on to a dunk at WisePies Arena Wednesday night. The Lobos beat NMSU 79-61 and will play Rice this Saturday.
The Rio Grande Rivalry continues to be a one-sided affair.
New Mexico yet again swept the yearly home-and-home series with in-state foe New Mexico State Wednesday night at WisePies Arena, capturing a 79-61 victory over the Aggies.
The win marks the 15th time in the last 18 meetings where the Lobos prevailed. They have also taken both games in a year eight times since 2003. With the lopsided turn this series has taken, some fans are beginning to dismiss UNM-NMSU as a “true” rivalry game.
