New Mexico State wins at home

Has Coach Marvin Menzies found himself a point guard? Hernst Laroche was a late signee (August) out of Canada but he has quickly picked things up and is doing the basic job of getting the ball to his teammates in scoring position. Another frosh backcourter, Terrance Joyner, made his season debut last night.

LAS CRUCES — Don't look now.

It's a win streak.

New Mexico State won a season-best third game in a row with an 88-74 victory over Prairie View A&M on Wednesday at the Pan American Center.

With the win, the Aggies went over the .500 for the first time since a 90-66 victory over Pepperdine on Nov. 21 heading into Saturday's rivalry game against UTEP in El Paso at 5-4.

"It feels great, now we can go on the road," said Aggies point guard Hernst Laroche, who had nine points, seven assists and one turnover. "It's good to be going in the right direction going into UTEP."

Laroche and the Aggies had 21 assists, tying a season high for a game while turning the ball over a season-low seven times...
