STEVENS: Lobos Gut Out 97-87 win over Aggies in Las Cruces

Really, it was almost a perfect victory for Lobo coach Steve Alford. His Lobos escaped Las Cruces with a dramatic, come-from-behind 97-87 win over the Aggies and he gets to go back to The Pit and work on one of his true loves of basketball -- defense. The Lobos ran to a 19-point 55-36 lead in the second half by shooting lights out, then allowed NMSU to climb up by four by shooting lights out, before the Lobos put themselves one game away from an Aggie sweep with a 10-point win in the Pan American Center.
