New Mexico State men's basketball blows out UTEP wire-to-wire

The New Mexico State men's basketball team looked like a desperate, dangerous team against UTEP on Wednesday night at the Pan American Center.

The Miners looked like their prey.

In a complete reversal of the game two and a half weeks ago in the Don Haskins Center, the new-look Aggies put together their best game of the year and blew out UTEP 95-70 as the Miners played their worst game of the year.

New Mexico State, playing in their first home game after forward Mike Peake was wounded in a fatal shooting, began pulling away before the midpoint of the first half to move to 3-2.
