San Diego State Men's Basketball team is looking to stay in cruise control after securing their spot in the driver's seat atop the Mountain West standings with Tuesday's 74-65 victory over Nevada.
7:00 remaining, SCORE: 26-21, New Mexico — After missing their first four shots from deep, Matt Bradley and Adam Seiko hit back-to-back threes for the Aztecs to stem the bleeding from New Mexico's run. On the flip side, the Lobos missed two threes and a midrange jumper — allowing SDSU to cut the lead to five.
Mensah redeemed himself, finishing with nice touch using the left hand at the rim. Mashburn continued to get into a rhythm, as he nailed a three pointer next time down the court. 15:36 remaining SCORE: 10-7, New Mexico — Nathan Mensah is making his presence felt on both end of the floors early in this one. Following an easy flush of a dunk inside thanks to a dime from Lamont Butler, Mensah blocked an hook shot jumper from Morris Udeze.
Off the turnover, Lamont Butler finds Keshad Johnson for an alley oop. Aztecs draw first blood: 2-0. New Mexico's Javont Johnson responds with a three-pointer.
