LAS CRUCES, N.M. - Death. Texas. NM State winning WAC titles.
Those have been life's certainties in Las Cruces in recent memory and it was still the case Saturday night.
On pace to score just 40 points midway through the opening stanza, the rv/— Aggies finally managed to shake off their exceptionally slow start on offense by using an 11-0 run to take the lead for good and NM State hoisted its third WAC regular season championship trophy in as many seasons with a 78-62 come-from-behind triumph over UTRGV.
Jabari Rice came through with a team-high 20 points and Terrell Brown added 18 more off the bench for the Aggies who now own the nation's longest active winning streak at 16 games.
