ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – Expecting a high-octane shootout to breakout on Wednesday night between the University of New Mexico and Sacramento State, it was actually defense that shined brightest as the Lobos held the Hornets to 32.8 points below their season average en route to UNM securing an 85-53 win inside Dreamstyle Arena – The Pit.
The 53 points scored by the Hornets (3-4) against the Lobos (9-1) is the lowest scoring output by Sacramento State this season, and it was the lowest since they were held to 50 points against Montana State on January 13, 2018.
