FINAL: New Mexico defeats San Diego State, 76-67
The problems that plagued the Aztecs in the first half were persistent through the second: Poor foul shooting and turnovers. The most costly turnover of the game, however, came in the form of Nathan Mensah's technical foul. It ended up being his fifth and final of the contest, since he was assessed it after his fourth foul around the eight-minute mark of the second half.
37.2 seconds remaining, SCORE: 72-65, New Mexico — Butler quickly sinks a three to cut into the Lobos lead. Down seven with less than 40 seconds is a tall order, though. SDSU calls timeout. 5:13 remaining, SCORE: 63-55, New Mexico — They say the House always wins, well Jaelen has been firing on all cylinders since Mensah fouled out of the game. NOT SO FAST — despite finding his shooting zone, House was assessed with a technical foul of his own, allowing SDSU to chip away at the lead.
— Ben Higgins January 15, 2023 8:20 remaining, SCORE: 49-48, San Diego State — Although the Aztecs took the lead, the team lost a major piece in this moment. After getting his fourth foul, Nathan Mensah was visibly upset with the referee, who then proceeded to issue him a technical foul. This was his fifth foul of the game, so Mensah was booted from the contest, with an eternity on the clock, mind you.
15:56 remaining, SCORE: 43-40, New Mexico — Bradley hit both of his foul shots, cutting the Lobos lead to three. In the first half, the Aztecs were a pathetic 1-7 from the line, so SDSU fans are pleased to see those"gimmie" shots go in. New Mexico responded with a layup of their own, but a Lamont Butler steal and fastbreak score woke up Viejas Arena. The Lobos lead is now down to six.San Diego State's 10-point deficit at the break can be attributed to two things: poor shooting and allowing easy points off turnovers. The Aztecs went 12-32 from the field in the first frame, which translates to a 37.5% field goal percentage.
00:33.6 remaining, SCORE: 38-28, New Mexico — San Diego State calls a timeout. Coach Brian Dutcher is looking to avoid going into halftime with a double digit deficit. At this point in the contest, Mensah leads the Aztecs in points and rebounds, with 6 and 4, respectively. Matt Bradley is currently 2-7 from the field. He needs to get back in his groove if SDSU is going to dig out of this hole.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.
11:05 remaining SCORE: 16-11, New Mexico — After going cold over several possessions, Darrion Trammell hit a much needed bucket to chip away at the Lobos lead. Although the Lobos connected on a string of shots, SDSU's defense stayed vigilant in order to force a shot clock violation on the next possession, slowing down the New Mexico run.
