New Mexico State University vs. Idaho Vandals - live gamecast at the Pan American Center.
FINAL SCORE: Aggies 74, Idaho 57
Final recap: Apparently, Aggie students got the memo that tonight's game was nationally televised, and they came out in force. At the end of the game, Aggies coach Marvin Menzies proudly hailed the Aggies' student section as the sixth-man, which may have made Troy Gillenwater a bit disappointed, but definitely happy for the win. A lackluster crowd showed up for tonight's game, but the Aggies still managed to dominate the Idaho Vandals, 74 to 57, with strong support from students.
The story of the night was the Aggies hot 3-point shooting. They were 12-26 from three-point land, with guard Jonathan Gibson, guard Jahmar Young and Gordo Castillo each with 3.
For the Aggies, guard Jahmar Young led all scorers with 23 points, followed by guard Jonathan Gibson with 15 and forward Wendell McKines with 11.
The Vandals' leading scorers were center Kyle Baron with 10 points and guard Kashif Watson, also with 10.
Leading board-grabbers for the Aggies were forward Wendell McKines with 12 and Hamidu Rahman with 11. McKines nearly had a triple double, he also dished out 8 assists.
The Aggies are now 18-9 and 10-3 in WAC Play. Idaho is 13-14 and 4-9 in conference play.
Next up, the Aggies face Boise State University at the Pan American Center, at 7 p.m. MST.

great website! Finally a decent media web site for NMSU
New Mexico State really should consider making the area just above the bench and tables surrounding the court the "student" section. They're the ones that seem to "show up" when there's a late-night televised game. Duke does it...and while we aren't quite on par with Duke, we still have spirit and would have even more. Sell the seats, if you're worried about money. The die-hard fans like my brother would pay big bucks to have a seat behind the opposing team's bench. Plus, it looks better on television.
If you always write interesting, I will be your regular reader.
