Sunday: four game reports

Idaho put out the welcome mat for New Mexico State and the guests rode out to a 42-27 halftime lead. The Vandals closed the deficit to 60-53 with seven minutes remaining and at the final horn it was the Aggies 71 to 70 for the Moscow-ites. A foul on an inbounds pass with 2.7 second remaining proved to be the difference. Call it a dickens of a tale of two halfs.

Sim Bhullar and K.C. Ross-Miller each scored 16 points with Bandja Sy totaling 14 while Kyle Barone posted an 18/10 double-double and Connor Hill contributed 17 points.

Idaho shot 52% overall, New Mexico State 48%. The latter also committed just four turnovers.

Denver went on the road to Seatown and continued the Pioneer winning streak 64-51.  Coach Joe Scott's guys actually decided the game with a 43-29 first half. Chase Hallam led with 15 points and Chris Udofia totaled 13. UD went 12-27 from long distance -- Seattle 0-9. With 15 points, Clarence Treat was the sole Redhawk in double figures. In fact, Coach Cameron Dollar's crew, now 0-5 in the WAC, went only 9-20 at the foul line.

Louisiana Tech stayed undefeated in taking down host UTSA but it was mighty close at 73-71. That's probably little consolation for the 0-6 Roadrunners. Bulldog Kenyon MacNeail exploded for 34 points, going 9-15 on trey attempts. Roadrunner guard Kannon Burrage finished with 29 points as, minus Jeromie Hill, Coach Brooks Thompson's squad went with basically a four guard offense.  Jordan Sims totaled 16 points and Hyjii posted 14 for San Antone.
