The University of New Mexico men’s basketball team collected another win thanks, in part, to some sharp-shooting from the 3-point line.
Senior guard Anthony Mathis poured in seven 3-pointers en route to scoring a game-high 23 points to lead his Lobos to an 85-75 victory over the Bradley Braves on Saturday evening.
New Mexico entered the game as the second-best 3-point shooting team in the nation, hitting at a 47.9 percent clip. That percentage took a hit, but UNM made good on 12 of its attempts from long range.
UNM (4-1) got off to yet another slow start and turned in a sub-par shooting performance in the first half, which created an early hole for the team to attempt to climb out of.
