NMHU reaches D-II NCAA Tournament for the first time

LAS VEGAS, N.M. — The New Mexico Highlands men's basketball team is playing in the NCAA Division II tournament for the first time in school history.

The Cowboys, under coach Joe Harge, qualified for this weekend's regional tournament in Mankato, Minn. New Mexico Highlands (20-10) is the No. 6 seed and will face No. 3-seed Augustana College (18-6) out of South Dakota on Saturday at 11 a.m. MST.

The regional tournament champion will advance to the NCAA Division II Round of 16.

Harge turned a one-win program into a 20-game winner last season, which tied an NCAA record for the largest single-season turnaround in history.
