For a late span Tuesday night, a tight game morphed into a battle between UNM’s Tim Williams and UNLV’s Patrick Cornish.
The teams played to a 70-all tie past the seven-minute mark in the second half. From that point to the final minute, only forward Williams or guard Cornish saw the net. The two went back and forth, almost shot for shot.
Williams scored 12 straight points for UNM in that run, adding to his new season high 29 points in the Lobos’ 87-83 home victory over UNLV. He sank 10 field goals on 15 attempts with a 9 of 12 efforts from the foul line.
