Twenty-two.
That how many points Utah State (24-6, 13-2 Western Athletic Conference) scored before Fresno State (14-17, 6-9) scored a point.
That is also the field goal percentage Fresno State shot for the game Monday night in Logan when Utah State simply impounded the Bulldogs 76-39.
Conversely, Utah State shot better than 55 percent, had 25 assists to the Bulldogs 4 and won the turnover battle 16 to 9. There are more ugly numbers but I'll spare any Fresno State fans that read this blog the pain.
The Utags have been jumping on visitors early and not letting up.
The win gives Utah State at least a piece of the regular season conference championship for the third year in a row.
It's pretty simple for New Mexico State (19-9, 11-3) now. Win at Reno and in Logan and take the first seed in the tournament. Split the road trip and finish second. Lose both games and finish third unless Louisiana Tech (22-7, 9-5) wins at Nevada (17-11, 9-5).

Senior night at the Pan Am
Update: Reports indicate McKines was benched for most of Saturday's game for skipping class.
Warming up before Saturday's game against Boise State, the Ags seemed happy-go lucky. Celebrating senior night, they kidded around, playfully teased Gibson and Merker, and didn't pay much attention to their practice drills. I became worried. The last time the Aggie spirits were riding this high (After a home win vs. Louisiana Tech) they traveled to Fresno and got embarrassed against a lower-tier WAC team, 83-64.
And although their last win at home was no upset or surprise (74-57 vs. Idaho), it was senior night Saturday, the Ags' last home game of the regular season. They looked a bit too relaxed.
In the end, they took care of business, scoring just five shy of a 100, 95-92. In high and close scoring battles, the Ags are usually victor. Jonathan Gibson was the leading scorer in his final regular-season home game (NIT, maybe?), Jahmar Young put up 20, followed by Hamidu Rahman and Hernst Laroche with 15. I thought Laroche played very well Saturday. He also had four assists and four steals. Rahman also played a terrific game, pulling out the double-double with 10 boards.
But it was a different story for forwards Troy Gillenwater and Wendell McKines. Wendell, who for some reason only played 17 minutes in the entire game, was 1-4 from the field, scoring only 2 points. He seemed a bit sloppy on the offensive end but took care of business on d. Gillenwater, on the other hand, played 25 minutes but went 6 for 13 from the field. He took a couple of 15-footers and missed pretty badly, along with two missed three-pointers. Gillenwater said he's been working on his long ball since being benched the first half of the season, but it didn't help much Saturday. Either way, his passion was there, and he had a couple of nasty blocks that made the crowd oooh.
The postseason senior night celebration was heartfelt, and plenty of fans stuck around to see Jonathan Gibson, Kelly Merker and Tray Britt honored for their contributions to Aggie basketball. Gibson thanked his family, friends and Aggie loyal, saying, "I thank God for giving me the opportunity to play here and my family for supporting me. I love my teammates, love the fans and the coaches here. I can't get wait to get out there and get another one."
Merker, the Santa Fe, N.M. native said, "I wouldn't have made it this far without my family. I take great pride in being part of this program and I look forward to seeing you guys in the future." This is Merker's last year of eligibility as a graduate student walk-on.
Britt said, "I want to thank my teammates, coaching staff, family and everyone that couldn't be here tonight. I love them."

Live gamecast of NMSU vs. Boise State (NMSU 95, BSU 92)
*** FINAL SCORE: NMSU 95, BSU 92
Play-by-play action (well, mostly play-by-play) of the WAC's No. 2 New Mexico State University Aggies (18-9, 10-3 WAC) vs. the Boise State Broncos (13-15, 3-10 WAC).
The Aggies are coming off a 74-57 home win against Idaho Wednesday, Feb. 24. Hot shooting behind the arc and a strong performance by center Hamiduh Rahman and forward Wendell McKines led the Aggies to an easy win Wednesday. The Aggies are now the only remaining team in the hunt to win the regular season WAC title, a game and a half behind Utah State.
Boise State is coming off a 72-59 surprise win against the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs in Ruston, La -- their best win of the season. For Boise, forward Ike Okoye leads the team's scorers averaging 13.1 points and 8.3 boards per game. Forward Robert Arnold, guard La'Shard Anderson and guard Daequon Montreal are all averaging 10 points for the Broncos.
---Game start---
Note: A good turnout from fans, I would estimate about 8,000.

Note: The Aggies and Broncos are playing fast-paced ball. The style of play lends well to the Aggies' high-powered offense, who have several options on the breakaway for spot-up jumpers, layups or shots from behind the arc. Sloppy defensive play by the Aggies has also led to quick fast-break points for the Broncos, however. The Aggies started with a high-pressure man defense but have since let down a bit.
The crowd keeps getting bigger, about 9,000 now, I would say.

Note: Was not expecting this type of finish. BSU has been effective with their hack-an-Aggie strategy in the past two minutes, cutting the Aggies lead down to two. Some turnovers under the basket and sloppy play by the Aggies have led to BSU capitalizing off six points from Aggie turnovers.

Note: The Aggies are managing the clock better now but taking poor shots. BSU's Paul Noonan is relentless from beyond the arc. The Aggies are doing a poor job again of covering BSU's shooters during transition.

Note: Was not expecting this type of finish. BSU has been effective with their hack-an-Aggie strategy in the past two minutes, cutting the Aggies lead down to two. Some turnovers under the basket and sloppy play by the Aggies have led to BSU capitalizing off six points from Aggie turnovers.

Nevada/Hawai'i game on as scheduled
OK, I guess the danger has passed.
The latest from the U of Hawai'i:
"The University of Hawai‘i men's basketball game versus Nevada will be played as scheduled tonight with the recent announcement of the tsunami warning being lifted. The "Senior Night" game will be played at its regularly scheduled start time of 7:05 p.m. at the Stan Sheriff Center."

Nevada at Hawai'i cancelled
The University of Hawai'i website says that all sporting events scheduled for today are cancelled.
From the site:
'The men’s basketball game vs. Nevada is cancelled and no potential make-up date has been determined. If the game is not rescheduled, a ticket refund procedure will be announced for individual game ticket holders early next week."
The monster earthquake in Chile that prompted tsunami warnings in Hawai'i also severed portions of the Pan American Highway. That road happens to run by the Pan American Center, which is named for the storied highway.
The thoughts and prayers the Las Cruces Bulletin go out to our neighbors down the road, even if they are several thousand miles away.
