The New Mexico Lobos put an end to their two-game Mountain West Conference slide on Saturday night with a 76-67 win over the San Diego State Aztecs inside Viejas Arena.
Led by Jalen House’s 29 points, the Lobos hopped back into the race at the top of the conference standings, while handing the Aztecs their first conference loss of the season.
Jamal Mashburn Jr. scored 22 points in the win, with Javonte Johnson adding 10 of his own, while Morris Udeze put in 10 points and grabbed 15 rebounds.
New Mexico raced out to an early lead thanks in large part to Mashburn and Johnson, the latter of whom scoring all 10 of his game points in the first 20 minutes.
