LAS CRUCES — Now is the time that teams across America want to be playing their best basketball.

That is certainly the case for the New Mexico State University men's basketball team with the tipoff of the Western Athletic Conference Tournament 16 days away.

At least on the offensive end.

Saturday's 94-86 victory over Cal State Fullerton was the Aggies' fourth straight victory and their sixth win in their last seven games.

The Aggies shot a season-high 63 percent from the field on Saturday after a season-best half — 78.3 percent in the second half. NMSU knocked down 12 3-pointers, which is the second most for a single game behind the 17 they knocked down on Dec. 28 against Loyola Marymount.

NMSU is shooting 48.1 percent from the field and 42.6 percent from 3-point land in the last seven games...

Go here for the remainder.
