If absence makes the heart grow fonder for those in love, taking the Rio Grande Rivalry away from the Lobos and Aggies for a year seems to have only intensified the hate.
After 40 minutes wasn’t enough to settle a heated rivalry rematch on Monday night in the Pit, Aggies guard Nate Pryor hit a twisting, right handed layup with his back to the basket as the overtime period expired, giving the New Mexico State Aggies an emotional 78-76 overtime win over the UNM Lobos in front of an announced crowd of 13,019.
