LAS CRUCES — Phillip McDonald scored a career-high 27 points Tuesday night to lead New Mexico to a 97-87 victory over New Mexico State University.
McDonald hit 8 of 15 from the field, and teammate senior forward Roman Martinez chipped in with 24 points.
The Lobos (2-0) were 12-for-26 from 3-point range.
At halftime, UNM had made 64.5 percent from the field and led 52-36, a team record for first-half points under head coach Steve Alford.
The Aggies (0-2) trailed by as much as 18 in the second half before outscoring UNM 30-15 to open the second.
Guard Hernst Laroche gave the Aggies their first lead of the half with a pair of free throws, making it 68-67 with about 10:30 to go.
Junior guard Jahmar Young led New Mexico State with 26 points, scoring 22 in the second half.
But with about 8 minutes left junior forward Darington Hobson hit a pair of free throws that made it 75-73 and gave the Lobos the lead for good.
