COVID protocols sideline Aggies’ Jans, who misses milestone win

LAS CRUCES — Two New Mexico State men’s basketball team members picked up the 100th wins of their Aggie careers in Wednesday night’s 94-67 win over Division II New Mexico Highlands, but only one was present at the Pan American Center.

Redshirt senior forward Johnny McCants and coach Chris Jans each picked up their 100th wins as Aggies against the Cowboys, although only McCants was available on NMSU’s bench. Jans missed the game due to COVID-19 protocols, according to a statement from NMSU, but a spokesperson declined to provide further details.

The game was still credited to Jans’ record, although associate head coach James Miller acted as head coach for the evening.
