Offensive Struggles Loom Large as NM State Drops 53-48 Decision to #17/18 Arkansas in NCAA Tournament

Postgame Press Conference

BUFFALO, N.Y. - A little over 48 hours removed from its best three-point shooting performance of the season, NM State simply couldn't get enough of them to drop on college basketball's biggest stage.

The defensive effort was there, but, unfortunately, the shots just did not fall for NM State as its magical run in the NCAA Tournament came to a painful end with a 53-48 loss to #17/18 Arkansas Saturday night in the second round of the Big Dance.

NM State went just 6-of-26 (23.1-percent) from long range which factored into the team's 34-percent (18-of-53) clip from the field as a whole.
