Is this a team with a high ceiling...a squad that people placed unrealistic expectations...or is it simply too early too tell?
Ultimately the answer could be yes to all those questions, but none have likely been answered. However, fans of the University of New Mexico basketball saw an underwhelming performance for much of its matchup with rival New Mexico State on Saturday at Dreamstyle Arena aka The Pit — watching their team drop a 98-94 contest.
Head coach Paul Weir credited the Aggies for playing the way they did and said NMSU's AJ Harris had an outstanding individual performance — perhaps the best he's seen on that court since coming to Albuquerque.
