POSTGAME NOTES

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – The University of New Mexico men's basketball team (10-6, 3-0 MW) stayed undefeated in Mountain West Conference play, defeating the Utah State Aggies (9-6, 1-3 MW), 77-59, Saturday in WisePies Arena.

"I thought my team came out and played the way I wanted them to play," said head coach Craig Neal. "They really came out with a lot of energy and a lot of effort. They did what I asked them to do the first four minutes of the game, taking a really, really good Utah State team out of their rhythm, and just really played well in the first half.
