NM State – Wichita State Rescheduled for Feb. 15th
LAS CRUCES, N.M. – New Mexico State and Wichita State signed an agreement to make up their postponed men’s basketball game on Monday, Feb. 15. Tipoff is scheduled for 7:05 p.m. at Koch Arena in Wichita, Kan.
NM State and WSU were originally slated to meet on Dec. 28, but winter weather canceled the Aggies’ flight into Wichita and hindered subsequent efforts to book a replacement.
With the Aggies unable to reach Wichita, the teams agreed to postpone the game indefinitely while searching for an ideal makeup date.
Both schools have five-day gaps in between games on Feb. 13 and Feb. 18.
Wichita State, now ranked 22nd in the AP Poll and 25th in the USA Today’s Coaches Poll, will be in the midst of a homestand that includes dates against Northern Iowa (Feb. 13) and Missouri State (Feb. 18), while NM State is slated to play at Chicago State on the afternoon of Feb. 13. Afterward, the Aggies will detour through Wichita to face the Shockers, then return to Las Cruces to meet CSU Bakersfield on Feb. 18.
The game will televised by Cox Channel Kansas with streaming available to those outside Kansas and the Kansas City metro area on ESPN3.
Tickets to the original Dec. 28 game will be honored at the gate. For questions, contact the Wichita State Ticket Office at (316) 978-FANS.
The Aggies are 13-8 overall, 5-1 in WAC play and faces UT Rio Grande Valley on Saturday at 7 p.m. in the Pan American Center. The Shockers are 14-5 overall, 8-0 in the Missouri Valley Conference.
