NMSU cruises to 16th straight win as they rout UMKC
The New Mexico State men’s basketball team steamrolled UMKC 94-71 Saturday night for its 16th-consecutive win and tied for the third-longest active NCAA win-streak. NM State also won its 22nd-straight win at the Pan American Center in front 9,893 fans for its Pack the Pan Am promotion.
“It was awesome, obviously, for our players and for our program to get that many people,” Aggie head coach Paul Weir said. “There wasn’t a lot of sit of the edge of your seat moments. But, to have that volume of people here is terrific. Hopefully the people that came for the first time or haven’t seen us play enjoyed what they saw and will hopefully come back again. Hopefully it’s a sign for greater growth in the future.”
New Mexico State now hits the road for six days that’ll include two road games and neutral site match in Rio Rancho. The Aggies will face Seattle U on Thursday followed by Utah Valley on Saturday . Both contests will be on the WAC Digital Network.
