Second Half


As the second half unfolded, New Mexico ramped up their offensive efforts, adding 45 points to their tally. Uriah Tenette played a pivotal role in orchestrating plays and maintaining momentum for the Pack. His ability to distribute effectively was complemented by Luke Haupt's sharp shooting from beyond the arc. Meanwhile, JT Rock provided solid support under the basket.


The Aztecs attempted to counter with their own offensive strategies but were met by a resilient Lobo defense that limited their fast-break opportunities and capitalized on turnovers.


Final Outcome


In an intense final stretch, New Mexico managed to secure an 81-76 victory over SDSU. This win not only highlighted what went wrong for New Mexico Lobos in previous games but also showcased their potential when executing well-coordinated plays and maintaining defensive pressure.
