Hot-Shooting Aggies Squeeze Past Dixie State, 77-69

ST. GEORGE, Utah – Things were a little more difficult than the NM State men's basketball team may have bargained for – especially down the stretch – but in the end the Aggies got the job done.

Teddy Allen turned in a fourth-straight game of 20 or more points by springing for a team-high 20, Jabari Rice added a 11-point, 10-rebound double-double and Clayton Henry added 12 more markers on a 4-of-5 clip from downtown as NM State hit the 20-win mark for the first time since 2019-20 by eking out a 77-69 win at Dixie State.

Johnny McCants was the fourth NM State player to hit double-digits, finishing with 13 to help his squad become the first WAC team in 2021-22 to hit the 20-win mark.
