ST. GEORGE, Utah - Yes, one of the primary points of the game of basketball is indeed to put the orange thing in the orange thing, but setting - and controlling - the tone on the glass is an important component as well.
With rebounding foremost on its collective mind, the NM State men's basketball team continued to do the one thing it has done on a continued basis in the month of March: win.
Sixteen of Jabari Rice's game-high 20 points came in the opening frame, Johnny McCants amassed 10 of his game-high 12 rebounds by crashing the offensive glass and the Aggies held off a late charge by Dixie State to secure a 76-66 victory inside Burns Arena Friday night.
