LAS CRUCES, N.M. - Conference USA's best defense will be back in action on Tuesday in the Pan American Center. NM State is poised to welcome in-state foe Western New Mexico to its home floor as they look to snap a two-game losing skid. Seven days prior, the Aggies narrowly fell to UC Irvine, suffering a 61-55 defeat. They now turn their attention to the Mustangs of Silver City, who reside just 115 miles away. Western NM will be logging the matchup as an exhibition. However, the game will count towards the Aggies' record, which currently stands at 4-4.
