That's that mindset of the New Mexico State men's basketball team after surviving their first of what will surely be many WAC nail-biters Saturday evening inside the Pan Am Center.
Terrell Brown looked like the Terrell Brown of old by pouring in a game and season-high 18 points, Jabari Rice posted New Mexico State's first double-double of the season by going for 13 points and a career-high 10 rebounds as the Aggies held off a late charge by Kansas City to secure a 74-71 victory over the Roos.
