Junior Ballard leads Fresno State as they sweep New Mexico in season series
Fresno State incorporated a full-court press on defense throughout Saturday’s game, and in the final moments of the game, it paid off.
With 20 seconds remaining and trailing 61-55, New Mexico’s Makuach Maluach attempted to shoot a 3, but Fresno State upped its defensive pressure. He didn’t have much space to shoot, and the Lobos’ last shot to stay in the game went to waste.
The Fresno State men’s basketball extended its home winning streak to five games after defeating New Mexico 65-55, completing the series sweep.
