· NCAA Men's Basketball
83 - 56
San Diego State defense throttles New Mexico 83-56
San Diego State (22-8, 15-2 Mountain West) had runs of 16-0 and 12-1 in the first half, and 27-6 in the second.
The second first-half run turned a 21-20 deficit into a 32-22 Aztecs lead and New Mexico (16-14, 9-8) would not get closer than six the rest of the way.
That came after Aztecs reserve Matt Shrigley was ejected at the 9:29 mark when he smacked Elijah Brown across the face after a steal and drive to the basket. Brown converted all four foul shots to pull the Lobos within 56-50, but San Diego State responded with the game-ending surge.
Brown finished with 18 points, but was 2-for-14 from the field and the Lobos as a team went 14-for-39 to lose their fourth straight. It's also the fourth straight win for the Aztecs in the series.
Trey Kell added 15 points for the Aztecs, including hitting 3-of-4 on 3-pointers and reserve Dakarai Allen added 11.
The Aztecs shot 55.1 percent from the field and finished 9-for-15 on 3s.
The 20 New Mexico turnovers equaled a season-high and led to 31 San Diego State points. The Aztecs also outscored New Mexico 30-16 in the paint while earning a 29-23 rebounding advantage.
