Defense Delivers for NM State in 78-62 WAC Tourney Semifinal Win over Utah Valley

LAS VEGAS - Let's toss a hypothetical scenario out here, shall we?

Two basketball teams - one a co-regular season champion, the other a college basketball vagabond throughout an uneven 2020-21 season - are set to duke it out for a trip to the WAC Tournament title game.

The co-champ has the league's Player of the Year and Defensive Player of the Year on it. That other squad has some dude they call "Johnny from Cruces," and another cat who looked like he had no semblance of an outside shot through the first 14 games of the year.
