LAS CRUCES, N.M. - The only thought running through Jabari Rice's mind over the course of the final 6.5 seconds Saturday evening was his last shot against New Mexico back on Nov. 21, 2019.
A three-pointer that rimmed out at the end. One that would have given the Aggies a win over their biggest rivals.
Given another chance in a similar situation nearly three months later, Rice knew failure wasn't an option a second time.
Playing in front of the team that put New Mexico State on the map a half-century ago with its run to the Final Four, Rice banked home a game-winning three-pointer with 0.
