Thursday: three game reports /// a trio of previews

It was Round Two for New Mexico State and New Mexico and this time in Las Cruces but the Albuquerque-ians did it again 68-63.This was winnable as three points separated the two teams at different time late.

Daniel Mullings led the Aggies with 14 points and he added five rebounds, the same number of assists and a pair of blocked shots to his line. Kevin Aronis contributed his season high of 12 points, going 4-5 from long range. Ironically, NMSU shot 38% overall but 58% on 10-17 treys attempts and then 11-20 at the foul line.

Jason Groves tweeted the game. Jason's three keys to the pairing and his prediction are worth reviewing (he was but one point off).

Jason then game reported.
