The Washington State Cougars let the lead slip away late — again — as the New Mexico State Aggies went on a 17-5 run in the final seven and a half minutes to send the Cougs to a 64-61 defeat — their fourth in their last six games.
The Aggies (9-2) outscored Washington State (7-4, 1-1 in Pac-12) 42-26 in the second half to hand the Cougars their second straight loss.
Trailing by two with 37 seconds to play, WSU got a chance to tie the game but they turned the ball over to the Aggies on a five-second call .
