New Mexico State Director of Athletics Mario Moccia handed the reins to the coveted Aggie
men’s basketball program to Chris Jans on Monday, April 17, 2017, naming the Fairbank,
Iowa, native the 26th head men’s basketball coach at NM State. Since doing so, Jans has
ushered in an unprecedented run of success in Las Cruces by winning an average of 23.8
games per year and laying claim to three consecutive Western Athletic Conference regular
season titles as well as a pair of WAC Tournament crowns.

As he prepares to begin his fifth season in charge of the Aggies in the 2021-22 academic
year, Jans has cemented himself as one of the nation’s premier bench bosses. His .758
winning percentage is the fifth-highest among the active NCAA Division I men’s basketball
head coaching ranks while his complete body of work as an NCAA Division I head coach
includes 116 victories - one of the highest totals through a head coach’s first five years in
NCAA Division I men’s basketball history.

The 25-year veteran took the helm of an Aggie team that had won a program record 28
games the year prior and matched that triumph total by amassing 28 in his first year. Since
his arrival, New Mexico State has beaten its first AP top-10 opponent in 17 seasons as
well as taken down a total of Power 5 teams in Illinois, #6/7 Miami, Mississippi State and
Washington State (twice). His tenure started off with a bang, sweeping both UNM and UTEP
before winning 11-straight.

Jans was named the WAC Coach the Year after leading the Aggies to a 12-2 conference
finish to claim the regular-season title and added a WAC Tournament title to his name
when the Aggies defeated Grand Canyon 72-58 – which gave NM State its sixth NCAA
Tournament berth in seven seasons.

Under his direction, Jemerrio Jones was named the WAC Player of Year while Zach Lofton

chris jans
was named First-Team All-WAC. Jones was also named to the all-defensive team while AJ
Harris joined Lofton on the all-newcomer list. In addition, Jones and Lofton were named
to the U.S. Basketball Writers Association’s All-District VIII team as well as the National
Association of Basketball Coaches’ first-team and second-team for district six, respectively.

The veteran coach was once again voted on by his peers as the 2019 Don Haskins Coach of
the Year after going 15-1 in league play with 10 new players and only one starter returning.
Prior to the WAC Tournament Championship game, Jans was named a finalist for the Hugh Durham Award – which is given out to the nation’s
top mid-major coach. He was also selected by his coaching peers as the 2019 NABC All-District Coach (District 6) while Terrell Brown was named
to the NABC All-District Second-Team (District 6).

In addition, the Aggies also claimed their second-straight regular-season title under Jans while also putting on a dominating 89-57 win over
Grand Canyon in the WAC Tournament title game – which was the highest margin of victory in the tournament championship. The win is NM
State’s ninth WAC Tournament title overall and third-straight, including the last
two under Jans.

Hit with a multitude of injuries prior to the start of the 2019-20 season, Jans did
not let that deter him as he, he staff and the Aggies overcame them to go 25-6
on the year. That record included the first perfect 16-0 WAC record in the history
of the league and culminated with the program’s third-consecutive WAC regular
season title before the COVID-19 pandemic shut down college basketball.

For a third-straight season, Jans earned the title of Don Haskins Coach of the
Year from the WAC and he repeated as the NABC’s All-District Six Coach of
the Year. The accolades rolled in for the Aggies, too, who saw a total of five
players secure All-WAC honors of some kind. Ivan Aurrecoechea and Jabari
Rice collected All-WAC First Team nods, Trevelin Queen was placed on the
All-WAC Second Team, Terrell Brown carved out a spot for himself on the All-
WAC Defensive Team and Evan Gilyard II grabbed All-WAC Newcomer Team
recognition. Both Aurrecoecha and Queen picked up All-NABC District Six
Second Team nods while the latter also received USBWA All-District VIII Team
plaudits.

Through the course of the 2020-21 season, a campaign which featured

arguably among the toughest in the nation as the Aggies were unable to play
any games in the state of New Mexico due to a state public health order. NM State could not even conduct full practices in the state until mid-
January, but still moved on to the WAC Tournament title game as the third overall seed.

He began his second-stint at Wichita State prior to the start of the 2016-17 season under head coach Greg Marshall. At the conclusion of that
season, Jans was elevated to associate head coach before taking the NM State head coaching job.

Prior to returning to WSU, Jans coordinated one of the nation’s best turnarounds in 2014-15 in his first year as the head coach at Bowling

The 2014-15 campaign also saw Jans lead BGSU to its first national postseason tournament victory since 1975
when the Falcons defeated Saint Francis (Pa.) in the 2015 Collegeinsider.com Tournament (CIT).

In that same year, Bowling Green finished Mid-American Conference play 11-7 – which was the most wins in MAC play for BGSU since going 11-5
during the 2008-09 season. In addition, the Falcons also reeled off 11 road victories for the first time since the 1947-48 season.
With the historic year for Falcon men’s basketball, Jans was chosen by his peers as the National Association of Basketball Coaches’ top first-year
head coach with the 2015 Joe B. Hall National Coach of the Year award.

Before taking the helm at BGSU, Jans spent seven years alongside Marshall at Wichita State (2007-14). He was a member of the inaugural staff
with Marshall at WSU and turned the program around to become the staple of the NCAA Tournament it is now. After just one season, the
Shockers earned a CBI bid in 2009 followed by an NIT bid at home in 2010 with the help of future NBA guard Toure’ Murry and center Garrett
Stutz.

The Shockers began to break through in the 2010-11 campaign when they recorded 24 wins and a runner-up finish in conference play. Despite
missing the Big Dance, WSU gave Shocker fans some hope when it reeled off
five-consecutive wins and won the program’s first NIT Championship.

Wichita State claimed the Missouri Valley Conference title the following year
and made its first appearance in the NCAA Tournament since 2006 as the No.
5 seed before falling to the 12th-seeded Cinderella VCU Rams.

Jans was instrumental in landing Ron Baker, a future All-American and NBA
player, who helped guide WSU to its deep run in the NCAA Tournament
in 2013. The Shockers broke a lot of brackets that season, taking down
Pittsburgh and the overall No. 1 seed Gonzaga to reach the Sweet 16 before
taking down a hot La Salle and Ohio State team to earn Wichita State its first
Final Four appearance since 1965.

In the final season of his first stint with the Shockers, Jans helped Wichita State
set an NCAA record with a 35-0 start to the season. During that stretch, WSU
ran the gamut in the Valley and became the first program to go undefeated
in nearly 30 years. That season also saw Fred VanVleet, Cleanthony Early
and Baker earn first-team all-conference selections while Early and VanVleet
notched All-America honors on top of VanVleet adding MVC Player of the Year

Jans was named the Region XI Coach of the Year after guiding the Eagles to a 25-10 season, which included a conference title and the program’s
first-ever national tournament appearance. He followed up his rookie season with a 31-6 campaign highlighted by Kirkwood capturing the

NJCAA Division II National Championship and Jans being named the National Coach of the Year.
Sandwiched in between his time at Independence Community College (1998-99) and Howard College (2001-03), Jans got his first taste of the
Division I level as an assistant coach at Idaho (1999-01) under David Farrar.

After Howard, he took over at Chipola Junior College and joined forces with Greg Heiar – who played for Jans in his rookie season as a head
coach at Kirkwood CC and was a fellow assistant coach at WSU. Success continued to follow Jans as he led Chipola JC to its first conference title in
a decade while finishing sixth at the NJCAA Division I National Tournament and finished 32-5 overall.

Jans then made his second appearance at the Division I level, this time as an assistant coach at Illinois State (2004-07) on Porter Moser’s staff
before joining Marshall at Wichita State.

Jans was a three-year starter at Loras College (1987-91) and was named a captain as a senior. During his time in Dubuque, Iowa, he helped the
Duhawks break 16 scoring records and two NCAA Division III records for three-point shooting.

A graduate of Loras College in 1991, Jans earned his bachelor degrees in marketing and finance. He and his wife Sheri have two kids, Nick and
Maddie Gazda.

associate head Coach • FOURTH Season • Colorado State ‘05
Considered one of the nation’s best up-and-coming college basketball assistants, James
Miller is set to begin his fourth season as the associate head coach at NM State in 2021-22.

Since arriving in Las Cruces, Miller has aided the Aggies in remaining atop the WAC while
also maintaining their reputation as one of the nation’s premier mid-major squads. In his
three seasons on staff, Miller has helped NM State post a 67-19 (.779) record which includes
a 38-7 (.844) mark in regular-season WAC showdowns. NM State’s winning percentage in
conference play through the past three seasons stands as one of the top three among all
NCAA Division I men’s basketball squads. With Miller on their side, the Aggies have laid
claim to WAC regular-season titles in 2019 and 2020 as well as the league’s tournament
crown in March of 2019. That tournament title pushed NM State to its 22nd NCAA
Tournament appearance in the history of the program.

Over the past three seasons, NM State players have secured a total of 13 All-WAC honors
of some kind while three student-athletes have gone on to earn NABC All-District laurels.
Those players have helped NM State claim two of the last three WAC regular season titles
as well as the league’s automatic bid to the 2019 NCAA Tournament. That year - Miller’s first
season with the Aggies - saw the team experience tremendous growth with a program
record 30-5 record and 19-game winning-streak.

As a matter of fact, the Aggies have posted 19-game winning streaks in two of the three
seasons of Miller’s involvement with the program and NM State entered the 2020-21 season
riding its latest 19-game unbeaten run after the COVID-19 pandemic put an end to all
James miller college basketball for the remainder of the year on March 11, 2020.

Even though they were barred from playing any games within their home state in 2020-21 as a result of in-state COVID-19 restrictions, the
Aggies were still able to achieve a degree of history. NM State matched the longest winning streak in program history (21 games) by emerging
as the victors in their first two games of the year. Miller also helped guide NM State to its ninth consecutive appearance in a WAC Tournament
championship game.

He spent the 2017-18 season on the North Texas staff that won the 2018 College Basketball Invitational title while also posting the nation’s fifth-
best win-improvement with 12 games. The 20-18 overall record last year was the first 20-win season at UNT since the 2011-12 campaign.

Prior to his time in Denton, Miller was an assistant under Grant McCasland at Arkansas State in his first year at the helm. While in Jonesboro, Ark.,
he helped the Red Wolves to the nation’s second-largest turnaround in the NCAA with a 10-win improvement in 2016-17.

During the 2015-16 season, Miller was an assistant at Omaha. The Mavericks participated in just their second postseason tournament since
making the move to Division I with an appearance in the College Basketball Invitational that. The Omaha offense was ranked fourth national
in scoring offense (85.3 PPG), fifth in steals per game (9.4) and 12th in turnovers forced per game (15.8) and was just one of three teams in the
Summit League to reach postseason play.

Miller is quite familiar with the Land of Enchantment, having been the head men’s basketball coach at New Mexico Junior College from 2012-15
after spending the previous three season as an assistant (2009-12). During his tenure as the head coach, the Thunderbirds were 77-23 overall
with three-straight postseason appearances. Miller also had 21 players move on to play at Division I programs during that time span that
included Texas Tech, Oklahoma State, TCU and NC State to name a few.

In his final season with NMJC, the Thunderbirds went 23-9 overall and advanced to the semifinals of the NJCAA Region V Tournament. Miller’s
first season at the helm saw the Thunderbirds capture the Region V Championship and earn their first national tournament berth in 17 years.

He spent four seasons (2005-09) at CSU Pueblo before serving as an intern with the Arizona State men’s basketball team out of college.

Miller was also a student manager with the men’s basketball team at Colorado State where he graduated with bachelor’s degree in 2005. He also
received his master’s degree from Northern Colorado in 2007. Miller and his wife Darlene have two daughters, Mia and Maci.

Assistant Coach • fIFTH season • Fitchburg State ‘98
The only member of head coach Chris Jans’ staff who has been by his side since his arrival
in Las Cruces, David Anwar is set to begin his fifth season as an assistant coach with the NM
State in the 2021-22 academic year.

Regarded as one of the nation’s most elite recruiters, Anwar came to Las Cruces with a
wealth of experience in that realm and it has paid more than its fair share of dividends since.
With Anwar in their corner, the Aggies have won at least 25 games in four of five seasons. In
that same span NM State captured three-consecutive WAC regular season championships
(2018-20) as well as a pair of WAC Tournament crowns (2018 and 2019). Two of the program’s
22 NCAA Tournament berths have been generated in Anwar’s tenure, too.

Linking up with the program just prior to the start of the 2017-18 season, Anwar played
an integral role in NM State’s WAC regular-season and tournament title run as well as its
NCAA Tournament berth that year. His scout of then No. 6/7 Miami was critical to the Aggies
defeating the Hurricanes in the semifinals of the Hawaiian Airlines Diamond Head Classic
and gave NM State its first AP Top-10 win since 1990.

In his second season on staff, Anwar helped guide the Aggies to another dominating season
capped off by winning their second-straight regular-season title and tournament title as
well as another NCAA Tournament appearance as a staff. The season was capped off by a
record 30-5 overall record and 19-game winning-streak – which was good for third-longest
in program history.

david anwar Anwar helped the Aggies put forth another 19-game winning streak through the course of a
memorable - albeit pandemic-shortened - 2019-20 campaign. Another victory over a Power
Five foe (Mississippi State on Dec. 22) came the Aggies’ way and that was just one of the wins during the team’s 19-game unbeaten run to close
out the season. Included in that streak was a perfect 16-0 record in WAC regular season action, making the Aggies the only team in the history of
the league to go 16-0.

Facing difficult challenges in the 2020-21 season, Anwar and the Aggies were prohibited from playing any games in the state of New Mexico due
to in-state COVID-19 restrictions. Despite these hurdles, the Aggies still managed to make a run to the WAC Tournament title game for the ninth
consecutive time. With wins in their first two games of the season, the Aggies matched the program’s longest winning streak (21 games).

He came to Las Cruces after spending the past five seasons at North Texas under Mean Green head coach Tony Benford. There, he served as the
team’s lead recruiter since joining Benford’s staff in 2012. While in Denton, Texas, Anwar helped North Texas rake in a top-50 recruiting class for
2013-14.

Prior to joining the Mean Green, he spent six years at Nebraska (2006-12) where he worked for Doc Sadler and alongside Benford from 2006-08.
Anwar worked mainly with the guards and forwards during his time with the Huskers, guiding them to postseason play in three of his final five
campaigns there.

He also played a crucial role in NU earning back-to-back top-25 national ranking in scoring defense (2007-09). His tutelage of the guards saw
a huge uptick in shooting beyond the arc for NU. In his first year with the Huskers, Anwar helped the guards knock down 244 triples, good for
second-most in program history. During the 2009-10 season, three players shot over 43-percent from 3-point range. Nebraska also set a school
record that season with a 39.7-percent shooting from downtown – which was also good for 15th nationally.

Anwar’s presence in the recruiting world is also well-known, landing Nebraska arguably its best recruiting class in the Big 12 era in 2007. That
year, The Huskers’ recruiting class was ranked in the top-25 by three major scouting services in ESPN.com’s Bob Gibbons (21st), CSTV.com’s Van
Coleman (12th) and HoopScoopOnline.com’s Clark Francis (5th).

No stranger to the Borderlands and Sadler, Anwar served as the director of operations at UTEP under Sadler from 2004-06. Before making his first
trip to the Borderlands, Anwar was an assistant coach at Division II University of Arkansas at Fort Smith from 2000-04.

His final three seasons at UAFS was where he and Sadler first paired up. During his time in Fort Smith, Anwar helped the Lions post a 101-29
record in addition to a pair of top-seven national finishes in 2001 (fifth) and 2002 (seventh). UAFS captured the Bi-State Conference East title in
each of his final three seasons and produced a multitude of all-conference players. He’s also helped over 20 players get to the Division I level
during his time at UAFS.

Anwar’s coaching career started at the prep level in Philadelphia and Massachusetts, where he saw over 40 of his players continue their careers at
the Division I or II levels.

The Philadelphia, Pa., native received his bachelor’s degree in special education and sociology from Fitchburg State in 1998 and then tacked on a
master’s degree in sports management/sports leadership from VCU in 2004.

Assistant Coach • FIRST Season • TEXAS A&M-CORPUS CHRISTI ‘07
The newest member of head coach Chris Jans’ staff, Dominique Taylor was named an
assistant coach on Tuesday, August 10, 2021.

Since the 2017-18 season, Taylor had been serving as an assistant men’s basketball coach
at MEAC institution Bethune-Cookman University. In Taylor’s four seasons as a part of the
Wildcats’ coaching staff, the program recorded a 48-45 overall mark which included a
31-17 showing in Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) showdowns. Through his last
few months at Bethune-Cookman, Taylor owned the title of interim head coach after Ryan
Ridder accepted the head coaching position at UT-Martin in late March of 2021.

Taylor helped tutor a trio of MEAC major award winners in 2017-18 Player of the Year

Defensive Player of the Year Cletrell Pope. With that pair headlining the roster, Bethune-
Cookman captured a share of the MEAC regular season title for just the second time in the
history of the program.

Taylor moved to Bethune-Cookman following one season as the head men’s basketball
coach at Southeastern Illinois Community College. His sole season as the Falcons’ head
coach occurred after one year as an assistant coach at Chipola College in Marianna, Fla.
Through that year (2015-16), Taylor helped guide the program to a mark of 17-13.

Before joining Chipola’s coaching staff, Taylor linked up with current Tennessee-Martin head
coach Ryan Ridder as an assistant coach at Daytona State. Alongside Ridder, Taylor turned
Daytona State around in their first season (2013-14), taking a program that had gone only
6-25 the previous season and turning it into a 24-6 powerhouse that won the Mid-Florida
DOMINIQUE TAYLOR
Conference title. That year, the Falcons finished the campaign ranked 10th in the NJCAA and all of theoor sophomore student-athletes graduated
with their associate’s degrees.

The first NCAA Division I coaching opportunity afforded to Taylor came in 2011-12 when he began a two-year stint at South Alabama as an
assistant coach and recruiting coordinator for the Jaguars. The Jaguars finished near the top of the Sun Belt Conference during Taylor’s tenure
with the team earning consecutive runner-up finishes in the league standings. Taylor had the distinct honor to mentor Sun Belt Player of the Year
and NCAA All-American Augustine Rubit of Houston, Texas. The Jaguars saw success on the recruiting trail as well, garnering consecutive top-
ranked recruiting classes in the Sun Belt during Taylor’s stint in Mobile, Ala.

Taylor got his start as a coach in the junior college ranks, specifically at Neosho County Community College in Chanute, Kan., where he served
on the men’s basketball coaching staff for two seasons beginning in 2009-10. He helped lead the Panthers to a 20-win season in 2009-10 and
coached six players that went on to NCAA Division I schools, including Antione Lundy, a 2009-10 NJCAA All-American.

The 2009-10 Panthers were the top rebounding team in the Kansas Jayhawk Community College Conference, including Lundy’s league-leading
13.7 average, and finished tied for third in the KJCCC Eastern Division with a 12-6 mark.

Taylor served as recruiting coordinator and assisted with all aspects of the program, including on-the-court coaching, practice planning,
academic progress, travel planning and scheduling. He also was involved with team public relations, fundraising and promotional activities.

In addition to his coaching duties at NCCC, Taylor was an adjunct faculty member where he taught undergraduate courses in personal training
and coaching basketball.

As a player, Taylor suited up for Texas A&M-Corpus Christi in the Southland Conference. From 2005-08, Taylor was a staple in the Islanders’ lineup
and helped lead the team to a trio of 20+ win seasons. With him on their side, the Islanders enjoyed their finest season in program history
during the 2006-07 campaign. That year, Texas A&M-Corpus Christi captured the Southland’s regular season title before winning the Southland
Conference Tournament and earning the program’s first (and so far its only) bid to the NCAA Tournament.

DIR. OF BASKETBAL OPERATIONS • FOURTH Season • VIRGINIA TECH ‘17
Now in his fourth season on head coach Chris Jans’ staff, Sean McClurg heads into the 2021-22 season
with a new title - Director of Basketball Operations.

Through his first three seasons on staff (2018-21), McClurg served as the program’s video coordinator.
In that role, he was an integral part of the Aggies’ on-court successes as a result of his expertise in the
scouting and film breakdown realms.

In his first season with the Aggies (2018-19), McClurg saw NM State capture its second-straight Western
Athletic Conference regular-season title, third-straight conference tournament title and 22nd NCAA
Tournament Appearance. The following year (2019-20) NM State upped the ante by a considerable
margin, ending the season on a 19-game winning streak which included the first 16-0 record in Western
Athletic Conference play ever produced in the history of the league.

Challenged through the 2020-21 season due to in-state COVID-19 restrictions, McClurg and the Aggies
were unable to practice in full and were also denied the chance to play any home games in the state of
New Mexico. With all of these hurdles to overcome, NM State still made a run to the WAC Tournament
championship game - the ninth-consecutive time the program had done so.

In his role as video coordinator, McClurg’s primary role for the Aggies includes analyzing statistical
performance evaluations for the team as well as its opponents. In addition to that, the Paterson, N.J.,
product aids in opponent scouting. Now, he will oversee many of the logistical and travel aspects for the
squad as its Director of Operations.

Through his time associated with the program, NM State produced 19-game winning streaks in each of
his first two seasons with the program, matched its longest winning streak in program history (21 games
from 2019-21), won two WAC regular season titles and posted an enviable 67-19 (.779) overall record.

McClurg native came to Las Cruces after spending the 2017-18 season as a graduate assistant on the
Louisiana Tech men’s basketball staff. While in Ruston, La., McClurg played a role in scouting opponents
and compiled reports for the coaching staff. He also developed workouts for players during the offseason

SEAN McCLURG
as well as new evaluation methods for players and line-up combinations.

Prior to his time with the Bulldogs, McClurg worked under Buzz Williams at Virginia Tech during his
undergrad as a student manager from 2014-17. With the Hokies, McClurg had several responsibilities
that included advanced scouting of future opponents, in-game analysis for coaching staff in addition to scheduling and oversight of social media content for the Buzz
Williams Team Camp.

During his time in Blacksburg, Va., the Hokies made three-consecutive postseason appearances, including back-to-back NCAA Tournament (2015-17) as well as three-
straight seasons with 20-plus wins.

McClurg graduated from Virginia Tech with a bachelor of science in computational modeling and data analytics in 2017.

video coordinator • SECOND Season • HARDIN-SIMMONS ‘10


Rian Stubbs will continue to be a fixture on the Aggies’ bench as he begins his second season on head coach
Chris Jans’ staff in 2021-22.

During his inaugural season at NM State, Stubbs served as the Special Assistant to the Head Coach where he
was involved in all aspects of the program. Despite being unable to play any games within the state of New
Mexico due to in-state COVID-19 restrictions, the Aggies still proved themselves as one of the WAC’s premier
programs by advancing to the WAC Tournament championship bout for the ninth consecutive time. In the
summer of 2021, Stubbs was elevated to the position of video coordinator.

Prior to arriving in Las Cruces ahead of NM State’s 2019-20 campaign, Stubbs, a native of Corsicana, Texas,
spent four seasons at Lamar Community College in Lamar, Colo.

During his four-year stint at Lamar, Stubbs served as the head men’s basketball coach for three seasons and
an assistant coach for one year. Through his three seasons as head coach, Stubbs helped NJCAA D1 Region
9 program amass 52 wins, including 20 during the 2017-18 season. All told, Stubbs helped lead the Lopes to
a mark of 78-49 through his four seasons. Under Stubbs’ direction miltiple Lamar players moved on to the
NCAA Division I level to play in leagues such as the America East, Big Sky, Horizon League, MEAC, Summit
League and the WAC.

Stubbs’ tenure in Lamar, Colo., was preceded by a very successful one-year run as the associate head men’s
basketball coach at NCAA Division III program Hardin-Simmons University in Abilene, Texas. That year,
Hardin-Simmons captured the program’s first American Southwest Conference (ASC) title and advanced to its
first NCAA Division III Tournament in program history. The Cowboys’ historic seasons continued in the NCAA
Tournament when they posted the program’s first tournament victory and were one of the final 32 teams left
standing in the NCAA Division III ranks. Clarendon College, an NJCAA DIvision I Region 5 program, benefited
from Stubbs’ services for two seasons. He was an assistant coach at the Clarendon, Texas, institution for two
seasons before his turn as the associate head coach at his alma mater.

Hardin-Simmons was the site of Stubbs’ coaching career as the former player got two years of service under
his belt as a graduate assistant with the men’s program. Those two years resulted in a 37-18 record for
Hardin-Simmons which included a 21-7 showing in the 2011-12 campaign. Those 21 victories represented a

RIAN STUBBS school record for victories in the Cowboys’ NCAA Division III era and the year culminated with an appearance
in the ASC Tournament title bout.

A former college basketball player, Stubbs suited up at Clarendon College before transferring to Hardin-Simmons to finish his career.

Stubbs obtained a bachelor’s degree in history and a masters degree in counseling and human development from Hardin-Simmons.

ACU FG-A 3FG-A FT-A • Robby Wilson and Angelo Johnson each drained three-pointers while De’Ron Kyle opted
2nd 13-25 8-14 13-16 for an old-fashioned three point play as part of a 9-2 ACU surge that cut the Aggies’ lead
HALF 52% 57.1% 81.3% down to 23-19 with 6:21 left in the half.
• Henry ended the Firestorm scoring surge with his second triple of the half at the 5:04
mark. Later on it was Rice who pushed his team’s advantage to double-digits yet again
with another layup.
• Up 32-22 with 2:28 to go in the frame, the Aggies fell victim to an 8-2 ACU spurt
powered by Dominic Gonzalez who had five in that stretch. That trimmed NM State’s edge
to 35-30 at the break.

SECOND HALF
• It looked as through the Aggies were primed to run away with things once the final frame
got going. Likayi capped a 7-0 NM State run through the first 2:23 of the half with another
jumper in the painted are to push the Aggies’ lead to 42-30, but the Firestorm weren’t
even close to finished.
• An 18-6 run by the home team over the next 6:02 cut the Aggies’ lead all the way down
to a single point, 48-47. Wilson put in eight points during that ACU spree.
• Again it was Henry who stopped the bleeding for NM State, starting a 7-0 run with anoth-
er downtown splashdown. After a pair of Tillman free throw makes, the Aggies’ lead stood
at 55-47 with 10:49 to go but Johnson dragged the Firestorm back into it from there.
• ACU’s point guard scored each and every point for the home team during its 11-2 run
following Tillman’s free throw swishes. That put the Aggies at a 60-59 disadvantage with
7:06 left, but set the stage for an exciting finish.
• It was the Aggies’ turn to go on a one-man offensive spurt and they went to junior guard
C.J. Roberts who netted seven in a row for NM State. His three-pointer with 5:32 to go
gave NM State a 66-63 advantage but Gonzalez answered with a long ball of his own to
provide one of the five deadlocks through the last 5:02.
• Tillman was the Aggies’ lone source of offense through a stretch of 1:45. His dunk
to knot matters at 68-all started a stretch of eight-straight points for the Detroit, Mich.,
product. It was Tillman’s strong finish in the lane with 2:05 left that put the Aggies on top
74-72.
• Kyle answered an uncontested layup by Rice with a three-pointer that put the Firestorm
back up by one, 77-76, with one minute left but McCants’ dunk with 45 seconds left and
subsequent block of a Kyle layup try helped NM State avert disaster.
• Five of McCants’ eight points came in the final 45 seconds of the game as did three of
his eight rebounds.

KEY PERFORMERS/STATISTICS OF NOTE


• Back at full health and showing it off, Henry netted a career-high 20 points on 7-of-11
shooting to lead the way for the Aggies. Tillman chipped in 15 to go along with four re-
bounds and one of the Aggies’ five blocked shots while Rice ended his night one rebound
shy of a double-double (14 points, nine rebounds).
• McCants also flirted with a double-double, going for eight points, seven rebounds, a trio
of assists and a blocked shot.
• By greatly reducing their turnover total in the second half, the Aggies managed to get
the job done on the road. After committing 11 turnovers in the opening frame, NM State
threw the ball away only four times over the last 20 minutes of action.
• Arizona Christian possessed some players who presented the Aggies with a bunch of
problems Sunday night. Johnson was foremost among them as he netted a game-high
26 points on a 9-of-18 showing from the field. Johnson also dished out a game-best six
assists.
• Both Gonzalez and Kyle finished their nights with 16 points apiece while Wilson posted
14 for the Firestorm who shot .429/.419/.800 for the game.
• Dating back to Dec. 17, 2019, NM State has won 20-straight games. That is tied with
Dayton, who does not play its first game until Friday, Dec. 5, for the second-longest active
winning streak in all of NCAA Division I men’s basketball. UC San Diego, which is in its first
year as an NCAA Division I program in 2020-21, has won 22-straight games dating back
to last season.
• With another win in their next contest, the Aggies will tie the program record for con-
secutive wins (21). That streak has stood since 1937-38 when NM State was under the
direction of head coach Jerry Hines.
• Thanks to the win, NM State also hiked its streak of road victories to nine dating back
to last season. That ranks as the fifth-longest road winning streak in the nation as of this
writing.

many as 23 points before the halftime horn sounded.
• Scorching the nets in the opening frame, the Aggies hit 56.8-percent (21-of-37) of their
field goals while included a fine 47.4-percent (9-of-19) mark from long range.

SECOND HALF
• Austin Denham cut NM State’s lead down to 19 by scoring the first five points of the
final frame but the Aggies responded with a 9-0 run featuring scores by four different
players to go ahead 60-32.
• With the game well in hand, the Aggies’ reserves got their chance to get in the thick
of things. Tennessee Owens drilled one of his two trifectas in the final frame while fellow
Las Cruces native Bryce Rewalt came off the bench and netted five points on a triple
and a layup.
• The Aggies shot 50-percent (15-of-30) through the last 20 minutes of action and
turned in a 9-of-12 (75-percent) accuracy rate from the foul line.

KEY PERFORMERS/STATISTICS OF NOTE


• Gilyard II stayed out of foul trouble and showed exactly what he’s capable of in both the
scoring and passing departments. The senior amassed a game and team-high 17 points
while passing out a career-high seven of the Aggies’ 19 assists. He also generated two
rebounds and a pair of steals while shooting 7-of-9 (.778) from the floor.
• Joining Gilyard II with 17 points was Donnie Tillman. The senior bullied his way to the
tin time and time again and went 6-of-11 from the field and 5-of-7 from the foul line.
Tillman finished two rebound shy of a double-double by grabbing eight and also amassed
two steals and an assist.
• Getting back in the swing of things, too, was senior forward Johnny McCants. The Las
Cruces, N.M., product posted his first double-double of the season and the third of his
career by finishing with 11 points and a game-high 12 rebounds.
• Rice wrapped up his night with 15 points on 5-of-7 shooting and also generated four
rebounds, a pair of assists and a steal. Henry chipped in 11 and seven rebound to round
out the Aggies’ main threats.
• Tre Carolina and Denham finished with 10 points each for the Redhawks.
• McCants collected a little over one quarter (12) of the Aggies’ 47 rebounds on the
night. That helped NM State hold a 44-27 (+17) edge on the glass against the Red-
hawks.

• NM State regained control in a big way off of Gilyard II’s play. The senior started an 8-0
Aggie run with an old-fashioned three-point play, generated a steal that led to a Wilfried
Likayi fast-break layup and splashed a three-pointer with 8:44 left that hiked the Aggies’
lead to 53-42.
• McCants showed his lethal long range touch again in order to give the visitors their
largest lead of the game. His fifth and final three-pointer with 6:29 left handed the Aggies
a 59-47 lead but NM State would hit just two field goals the rest of the way.
• Vante Hendrix captained an 11-2 Matador run over a span of 3:34. Hendrix clawed his
team within three, 61-58, with 2:21 left by scoring seven of his team’s 11 points during
the surge.
• Tillman tossed down a two-handed dunk that extended the Aggies’ lead to 63-58
with 1:57 left, but the Aggies missed their last four shots from the field while watching
Hendrix set the stage for Starks’ go-ahead bucket by scoring four-straight point for the
Matadors.

KEY PERFORMERS/STATISTICS OF NOTE


• McCants did all he could to keep the Aggies afloat before fouling out with eight sec-
onds remaining. The senior out of Las Cruces, N.M., finished with a game-high 19 points
on 6-of-13 shooting. McCants showed off his long range touch in a major way, splashing
a career-best five three-pointers but outside of McCants (5-of-10) the Aggies went just
2-of-16 (.125) from long range.
• Tillman tore up the boards all afternoon, pulling down a game and career-high 17 in
the Aggies’ first setback in over a calendar year. The native of Detroit, Mich., completed
his double-double bid with 10 points on 4-of-14 shooting in a team-high 35 minutes of
action.
• In the backcourt, Gilyard II led the Aggies’ charge at the foul line by going 8-of-9 from
that distance to finish with 13 points. The senior suffered from an off night from the field,
though, going just 2-of-13.
• Making his Aggie debut, Mayan Kiir finished with two points, and a pair of rebounds in
two minutes of action.
• Kalen Williams also stepped onto the floor for the first time in a NM State uniform. The
sophomore guard finished with two points and a pair of assists in 21 minutes.
• Starks wrapped up his night with a team high 18 points on 6-of-20 shooting for the
Matadors. Including his go-ahead make in the waning seconds, he finished 1-of-9 from
three-point range.
• Brown II (12), Alex Merkviladze (11) and Vante Hendrix (11) each chipped in double-dig-
it points for the Matadors to help them stop a two-game skid.
• The Aggies’ school record-tying 21-game winning streak came to a halt as a result of
the loss, too. It’s NM State’s first setback since Dec. 14, 2019 when they dropped a
69-62 decision at in-state rival New Mexico.
• NM State put up shooting splits of .317/.269/.727 in the loss while the Matadors’
marks of .333/.222/.800 weren’t much gaudier.

SECOND HALF
• It was NM State’s turn to chip away in the deciding frame and the Aggies started
that process when Rice converted an old-fashioned three-point play on his team’s first
possession of the half.
• GCU took its largest lead of the game when Oscar Frayer connected on a long ball to
put the Aggies at a 42-34 disadvantage with 17:23 left.
• NM State remained within striking distance because of two things: rebounding and free
throw shooting. The Aggies’ next eight points of the game came from the foul line before
Rice started a 5-0 NM State run by swishing a corner three-pointer with 10:40 left.
• Donnie Tillman canned a pair of free throws with 9:30 to go to hand the Aggies a 47-
46 edge - their first lead since the opening stanza.
• A nifty three-point play courtesy of C.J. Roberts made NM State’s lead 50-48 with 7:56
left, but Jovan Blacksher, Jr., scored four in a row for the Lopes after that to put the
hosts back on top.
• NM State never held the lead again, but had plenty of chances to regain it. McCants
pulled the Aggies back within three, 61-58, with two free throws at the 2:18 mark of the
half. Unfortunately, GCU responded with a Lever layup as well as dunks from Frayer and
Asbjørn Mitgaard to put the game on ice.

KEY PERFORMERS/STATISTICS OF NOTE


• McCants wrapped up his night with a team-high 13 for NM State while Rice, who was
playing in his first game since Dec. 1, 2020 after recovering from a foot injury, generat-
ed 12 points and four rebounds.
• The loss snapped NM State’s WAC record 31-game winning streak in league action as
well as the Aggies’ 34-straight games won against WAC opposition. Prior to Friday night,
NM State’s last loss in WAC play came at California Baptist on January 3, 2019.
• Despite giving up a great deal of size to the Lopes, that didn’t deter the Aggies from
controlling the glass. NM State finished with a 37-26 (+11) edge in the rebounding
department.
• After starting the game 3-of-3 from three-point range, the Aggies shot just 2-of-25
(eight-percent) from that distance the rest of the way.
• NM State got 40.3-percent (25 points) of its total scoring output from the foul line and
finished with 14 more makes and 21 more attempts from there than the Lopes.
• Lever and Mikey Dixon each contributed 14 points for GCU who snapped an eight-
game losing skid to NM State. The Lopes moved to 11-3 and 5-0 in WAC play with the
victory.

wrapped up the sizable surge by dishing out to Rice on the corner who swished a
three-pointer to cut the Lopes’ edge to 45-39 with 13:53 to play.
• GCU, unfortunately, righted the ship shortly thereafter by feeding Mitgaard down low.
The daunting Dane hit layups on consecutive possessions, hiking the Lopes’ lead back to
double-digits, 49-39, with 13:03 left.
• Over the last 13:52, NM State’s shooting woes came to the forefront of things. The
Aggies sank just four more field goals through that span which allowed GCU to keep
them at bay for the rest of the night.

KEY PERFORMERS/STATISTICS OF NOTE


• Likayi finished with a team-high 13 points for NM State while Rice (11) and Tillman (11)
also contributed double-digit scoring efforts to the Aggies’ cause.
• Mitgaard turned in a 14-point, 10-rebound double-double to lead the charge for the
league-leading Lopes who ran their winning streak to seven games.
• The Aggies’ ball movement was crisper than it was Friday night as NM State finished
with 12 assists on 19 made field goals. Still, NM State’s inability to fire accurately from
the field hurt - especially in the second half.
• NM State went 8-of-27 (29.6-percent) from the field through the final 20 minutes of
action which included an 18.8-percent (3-of-16) mark from long range.
• Saturday’s setback was just the second time in head coach Chris Jans’ tenure in which
NM State has lost back-to-back WAC regular season tilts.

HALF 61.5% 57.1% 61.5% • From there, CBU big man Gorjok Gak answered with a three-point play and the Lancers
kept their foot on the gas. With NM State down 58-52, the Lancers unleashed a 6-0
spurt culminating with a three-ball by Nottage to make matters 64-52 with 10:30 left.
• Rice tried to will his squad back into the game, accounting for all but two points during
an 8-0 NM State run which trimmed the Lancers’ edge to 64-60.
• Unfortunately, the Aggies just couldn’t keep the Lancers out of the paint - or off the
scoreboard. Thomas manufactured back-to-back buckets on consecutive CBU posses-
sions by going to work on the Aggies’ post defenders. Those scores hiked the Lancers’
lead to 75-65 with 4:38 left.
• After NM State made it a seven-point game with a Johnny McCants jumper in the paint,
Nottage effectively finished things off for the Lancers with his fifth and final three-pointer
of the game which put his team up 81-71 with 1:30 left.
• California Baptist went 4-of-6 from the foul line in the last 90 seconds to lock up the
win.

KEY PERFORMERS/STATISTICS OF NOTE


• Rice was one of four Aggies who finished with 10 or more points in the team’s third-
straight setback. Henry, McCants and Gilyard II each chipped in 11 points while Tillman
added eight.
• Henry hauled in a game-high seven rebounds, but the Lancers’ offensive execution was
too much for the Aggies to overcome.
• CBU put up shooting splits of .524/.421/.611 with Nottage, Armstrong and Gak doing
most of the damage. Nottage went 7-of-8 from the field to finished with a game-high 19
points while Armstrong tallied 18 on a 7-of-16 night from the field.
• Gak proved to be a smooth operator down low, recording 18 points on 8-of-10
shooting to go along with six rebounds. Thomas added 11 more for the Lancers who
committed just five turnovers in the loss.
• NM State redshirt freshman guard Marcus Watson made his college basketball debut,
finishing the game with one rebound and a three-point field goal attempt in five minutes
of action.
• The Aggies played their first of four remaining “home” games on their 2020-21 sched-
ule at Eastwood High School. Current COVID-Safe Practices for Intercollegiate Sports in
the state of New Mexico prohibit NM State from playing any games in its home state.

sizable jolt through the Aggies’ bench by knocking down a wide-open three-pointer that
made matters 71-51 with 8:31 to go.
• Tillman and redshirt freshman Marcus Watson wowed NM State’s bench by tossing
down one dunk each. Watson’s was a highlight-reel, fast-break windmill jam with 2:31 to
go.
• The Aggies’ lead grew to as many as 30 points after junior forward Mayan Kiir sank a
pair of free throws to make matters 91-61 with 1:37 remaining.
• NM State’s defensive intensity showed in the final 20 minutes as they limited the
Lancers to a shooting clip of 37.5-percent (9-of-24) through that span.

KEY PERFORMERS/STATISTICS OF NOTE


• Rice led the way in the Aggies thrashing of the Lancers, pouring in a team-high 20
points on 7-of-10 shooting while adding three rebounds and a pair of assists.
• Tillman delivered from everywhere, too, recording 19 points on 7-of-9 shooting to go
along with four rebounds and three of the Aggies’ 14 assists.
• Thanks to the likes of McNair and Roberts, who finished with 11 and 12 points respec-
tively, the Aggies’ bench outscored the Lancers by a 40-16 margin. Much of NM State’s
damage was done in the paint, where they racked up 50 of their 97 markers.
• Though Rowell recorded a game-high 22 points on 9-of-14 shooting, the Aggies’
guards locked up the rest of the Lancers’ backcourt. Reed Nottage, the reigning WAC
Player of the Week, finished with only four points while Tre Armstrong had just one. The
pair combined to go 0-of-10 from the field and 0-of-5 from three-point range.
• NM State’s 97 points matched the team’s most in a WAC game in Chris Jans’ tenure
as head coach. The last time the Aggies netted that many came in a 97-60 triumph at
league foe Chicago State on Jan. 6, 2018.

• A layup by Jabari Rice followed by a 1-of-2 effort by Evan Gilyard II at the free throw
stripe pulled NM State within one point, 48-47, through the first 1:05 of the frame but
that was close as the Aggies would come to regaining the lead.
• Grigsby answered with two free throw makes of his own before Trammell converted a
jumper in the paint to close out the Redhawks’ 4-0 response.
• Seattle U’s margin remained at single digits and NM State pulled back within six,
62-56, after Kalen Williams connected on a long ball with 12:32 to go. Aaron Nettles,
however, answered with a three-pointer of his own to push the Redhawks’ lead back to
nine.
• Following Donnie Tillian’s layup that cut Seattle U’s lead to 65-58 with 11:28 to go,
NM State managed to net just four points on one field goal make and two free throws
through the next 9:28. Unfortunately for the Aggies, the Redhawks’ offense didn’t suffer
from the same struggles.
• Seattle U went on a backbreaking 10-0 run featuring three-pointers by Grigsby and
Trammell which pushed the home team’s edge to 17, 75-58, with 8:03 left.
• That surge proved to be one NM State couldn’t come back from and through the half
NM State shot just 9-of-29 (31.03-percent) from the field and 3-of-15 (20-percent) from
long range.

KEY PERFORMERS/STATISTICS OF NOTE


• NM State’s defensive deficiencies allowed the Redhawks to finish the night with shoot-
ing splits of .517/.500/.889. Though Seattle U cooled off significantly from long range
in the second half (33.3-percent on 3-of-9 shooting), the Aggies’ offensive struggle in the
second half allowed the Redhawks to prevail.
• Trammell, the reigning WAC Player of the Week, wrapped up his night with a game-high
22 points to go along with a team-best six assists. Aaron Nettles and Emeka Udenyi
each contributed 12 points to the Redhawks’ cause while Grigsby added 10 and a team-
high eight rebounds.
• Tillman turned in a team-high 16 points on 6-of-11 shooting for the Aggies and finished
one rebound shy of a double-double by yanking down a game-best nine. No other Aggie
finished in double-digits in the scoring column but Jabari Rice dished out a game-high six
assists to offset his seven-point outing. It was the first time this season that Rice was
held to fewer than 10 points.

HALF 38.5% 28.6% 73.3% the final 2:51 of the frame. NM State took off on an 11-3 run through that span in order
to turn a one-point edge into a nine-point advantage at the break.
• NM State netted the final seven points of the half with Clayton Henry hitting a layup
off of an inbounds play, Gerald Doakes splashing a three-pointer from the far wing and
Johnny McCants going up and over the Redhawks’ interior defenders at the horn to finish
at the rim.
• Defense - the one ingredient missing from the Aggies’ game plan Friday night - was
one of the visitors’ biggest strengths in the opening 20 minutes. NM State held Seattle U
to 23 points on shooting splits of .292/.267/.833.
• Rebounding played a substantial part in the Aggies’ first-half successes, too, as the
visitors held a 23-10 (+13) edge on the glass.

SECOND HALF
• Coming on especially strong through the final 20 minute, Rice helped the Aggie in their
bid to turn a once close game into a runway.
• Through the Aggies’ 13-8 surge during the first 6:16 of the frame, Rice drilled a trio
of three-pointers and added a free throw in order to push the visitors’ lead to 45-31. NM
State’s lead remained at 14 points with 13:06 to go when Evan Gilyard II scored on a
hard-driving run to the tin, but Seattle U was anything but finished.
• Regrouping behind their big three of Riley Grigsby, Aaron Nettles and Darrion Tram-
mell, the Redhawks went on an 11-0 run over the next 4:55 to pull within three points,
47-44.
• Grigsby and Trammell each contributed five points during that run to pull the home
team back within striking distance. Rice finally ended the run by draining a pair of free
throw tries with 7:29 left to push the visitors’ lead to 49-44.
• McCants connected on a three-pointer with 6:19 remaining that made matters 53-44
Aggies. That long ball was NM State’s first field goal make in nearly seven minutes but
the Redhawks kept coming.
• A 1-for-2 showing at the line from Trammell capped an 8-2 Redhawk run and shrank
NM State’s lead to 55-52 with 3:27 to go. On the ensuing NM State possession, soph-
omore guard Kalen Williams swished a wide-open three pointer right next to the Aggies’
bench to make it a two-possession game once again.
• With 1:13 left, Henry stepped up and made a big-time three-pointer of his own which
increased NM State’s edge to 61-53. Henry essentially iced the game with 27 seconds
to go after grabbing an offensive rebound off of a missed free throw try by Gilyard II.
Rice connected on a layup on that NM State possession to account for the final margin.

KEY PERFORMERS/STATISTICS OF NOTE


• Henry’s well-timed double-double was his first in an Aggie uniform. He became the third
NM State player this season to go for one, joining McCants and Donnie Tillman as the
Aggies who have done so in 2020-21.
• Gilyard II facilitated much of the offense, going for seven points and a game-high six
assists. Though he didn’t score a point, Will McNair loomed large down in the paint for
the Aggies
and helped them control the glass by grabbing eight boards.
• Most of McCants’ damage came from the free throw line where he went 8-of-10.
• Trammell got his for Seattle U, finishing with 16 points, but he went just 4-of-16 from
the field. Grigsby turned in a team-high 17 points for the Redhawks who saw their two-
game winning streak snapped.
• NM State held Seattle U to shooting splits of .340/.276/.762 for the game.

HALF 56.5% 40% 47.1% to go up by two. That run set up a back-and-forth next few minutes as the lead changed
hands eight times from the 6:46 mark to the 3:00 point.
• Utah Valley’s Evan Cole threw down the second of his three second-half dunks to put
the Wolverines ahead 57-56, but McCants answered with a rim-rocker of his own with
4:08 to go that gave the Aggies the advantage once again.
• Arguably the biggest basket of the game came from Utah Valley’s Trey Woodbury.
His three-pointer with 3:00 left pushed the Wolverines ahead 60-58 and from there the
visitors never trailed again.
• NM State had three chances to sink an equalizing three-pointer following Jaden McCla-
nahan’s 1-of-2 effort at the foul line with 2:17 to go. Down 61-58, the Aggies watched
Rice, Evan Gilyard II and McCants all misfire from long range before Utah Valley corralled
a defensive rebound with 1:31 left.
• Down 64-58 with 1:19 to go, the Aggies’ comeback effort was led by Gilyard II who
drilled two free throws and converted a tough three-point play that pulled NM State within
two, 65-63, with 50 ticks left.
• After exchanging buckets, NM State fouled Aimaq with 14 seconds left. The Wolver-
ines’ forward split his tries at the free throw line before Rice was fouled on his three-point
try with seven seconds left. Though NM State did get an offensive rebound after Rice’s
last free throw miss of the sequence, Roberts’ go-ahead three-point try with three
seconds left was off the mark.

KEY PERFORMERS/STATISTICS OF NOTE


• Roberts served as the Aggies’ top point-getter, finishing with a team-best 13 on a 4-of-
12 night from the field. Rice added 12 while Likayi and Tillman contributed 10 each.
• Likayi went an efficient 4-of-5 from the field and also finished with a team-best six
rebounds on the night.
• Overton proved to be a problem for the Aggies’ defense most of the night as the shifty
guard finished with a game-high 18 points on 8-of-10 shooting. With Overton manning
things on offense, that let Aimaq handle things on the glass as the nation’s leading
rebounder finished with a game-high 17 boards.
• Aimaq also dished out a game-high five assists with two of his most timely coming in
the second half and leading to three-pointers by Woodbury.
• Woodbury, like Cole, finished with 15 points. He also helped the Wolverines shoot
57.4-percent (27-of-47) for the game.
• NM State had its chances time and time again, finishing the game with 16 more field
goal attempts than Utah Valley, but the Aggies’ shooting splits of .381/.241/.550 just
didn’t get the job done.
• The foul line was not kind to either team, but was especially tough on the Aggies in a
one-possession final score. NM State shot just 11-of-20 (55-percent) from the charity
stripe and collectively the teams went 22-of-44 (50-percent) from that distance.

three-pointer by Gilyard II made the score 60-55 Aggies with 2:49 left. Over the next 58
seconds, though, Utah Valley scored five in a tow to tie things at 60-all.
• Where fundamentals came into play the largest was over the last 1:04 of the game.
Tillman broke the 60-60 deadlock at the 1:04 mark by swishing the first of seven NM
State free throws through the last 64 seconds.
• NM State’s defensive delivered over that span, too, forcing a pair of Utah Valley turn-
overs. The Wolverines also went 0-for-2 from the field to help the Aggies seal the deal.
• Through the last minute and change, NM State went 7-of-8 from the foul line to collect
another Saturday night WAC win.

KEY PERFORMERS/STATISTICS OF NOTE


• Gilyard hit his fair share of big shots through the second half in order to finish with 16
points. Rice put in a game-best 20 for NM State who won for third consecutive Saturday.
• Intent on holding the Wolverines’ offense down, NM State allowed just Overton to
amass 10 or more points. Utah Valley’s guard netted 16 points on 7-of-17 shooting and
while Aimaq did record 15 rebounds he was held to just two points on a 1-of-7 perfor-
mance from the field.
• Second-half field goal makes were a rarity for the Aggies who went only 7-of-25 from
the field through the last 20 minutes. The free throw line, though, helped NM State get
the job done as the Aggies went 18-of-21 (85.7-percent) from there in the last stanza.
• Tillman was especially accurate from the stripe, going 8-of-8 from that distance. That
helped the senior finish with 10 points and he also added a team-high six rebounds.
• NM State’s free throw shooting prowess in the second half helped offset the Wolver-
ines’ 46.7-percent (13-of-30) shooting slip through the frame.

the half.
• Once the dust had settled at the halftime horn, NM State found itself the owners of
a 41-23 advantage. The Aggies’ advantage was made possible by an otherworldly
69.8-percent (16-of-23) showing from the field in the frame. That percentage grew to
near 70 as a result of the Aggies’ exceptional long-range accuracy. NM State shot 8-of-9
(88.9-percent) from downtown in the frame.

SECOND HALF
• The visitors’ lead hit 20 for the first time after Rice reached up and banked home a
layup which made the score 43-23 just 1:34 into the final frame.
• NM State was able to coast through the majority of the second half as it never saw its
edge dip below 16 points. The Aggies’ massive margin grew to as many as 31, 71-40,
after Williams swished a pair of free throws with 6:18 to go.

KEY PERFORMERS/STATISTICS OF NOTE


• McCants mauled the Texans, going for a game-high 18 points on 7-of-8 shooting which
included a 3-of-3 effort from long range. Playing against his former coach in Tarleton’s
Billy Gillispie, Roberts concluded his night with a season-high 14 points which compli-
mented a season and game-best five assists.
• Marcus Watson came off the bench and added 12 points - all in the second half - in
his 15 minutes of action. Tillman totaled seven points as well as a game-high seven re-
bounds. With Tillman on their side, the Aggies enjoyed a 34-21 (+13) edge on the glass.]
• The three-point line was where the Aggies did a ton of damage. NM State went 13-of-
22 (59.1-percent) from that distance, putting up the best single-game three-point field
goal percentage in Chris Jans’ tenure as the team’s head coach in the process.
• NM State won a game on Friday for the first time in 2020-21 thanks to the victory. It
also represented the Aggies’ second-straight WAC victory which marks NM State’s first
back-to-back league wins of the 2020-21 campaign.
• Tarleton was led by freshman guard Shamir Bogues who dropped in 14 points while
adding five rebounds. Gipson chipped in 12 for the Texans who dropped to 0-2 all-time
against NM State.

SECOND HALF
• The Aggies’ edge shrank to single digits just one through the final 20 minutes of
action. That occurred when Levi drained another corner three-pointer on the Vaqueros’
first possession of the deciding frame to pull his team within nine, 31-22.
• Following that long ball, the Aggies reeled off the next eight points and ended that
surge with a sizable punctuation mark when Rice hammered home a driving baseline jam
to make matters 39-22 Aggies.
• NM State’s lead grew to as many as 20 points, 46-26, following two free throw makes
by Roberts with 12:48 left.
• Down the stretch, NM State turned to Henry to guide it to the promised land. The se-
nior netted all 15 of his points through the final 14:13 and helped the Aggies put things
away when the Vaqueros tried to make it a game.
• Following a fast-break score by Levi to cut the Aggies’ lead to 53-43 with 5:44 remain-
ing, Henry went to work. The Calgary, Canada, product scored NM State’s next nine
points over the next 2:36 to push the hosts’ lead back to 14, 62-48.
• Evan Gilyard II made it a 16-point Aggie margin, 64-48, with 1:54 left by swishing two
free throw tries. NM State’s last nail in the Vaqueros’ coffin came when Watson drained
his second - and final - trifecta of the tilt with eight seconds to go in order to account for
the final score.

KEY PERFORMERS/STATISTICS OF NOTE


• In order to get the win, NM State had to navigate one of the nation’s best defenses.
The Aggies committed 12 turnovers against one of the land’s best in terms of forcing
turnovers, but in turn the hosts made the Vaqueros cough the ball up 16 times which led
to 24 NM State points.
• NM State did major work on the glass in the win, too, owning a 44-32 (+12) edge
in rebounds over their Lone Star State foes. On the offensive glass the Aggies were
particularly tenacious, grabbing 19 compared to UTRGV’s 10.
• Though he didn’t put in a field goal, Gilyard II was the Aggies’ main facilitator. The
senior dished out a game-high five of his team’s 12 assists and also got his hands on
four rebounds.
• In addition to Henry and Rice, McCants (10) and Roberts (12) put forth double-digit
scoring efforts in the win. McCants’ six rebounds were all of the offensive variety, match-
ing his career high in that department.
• With the win, NM State extended its winning streak over UTRGV to 19 games.
Additionally, the Aggies have now won 13 regular-season games in the month of March
dating back to 2013. Head coach Chris Jans has never lost a regular-season game in
the month as the team’s bench boss as his record in games of that configuration now
sits at 5-0.

SECOND HALF
• Hoping to put the game out of reach, the Aggies turned up the intensity a notch of two
early on in the deciding frame.
• Through the first 7:01 of the final stanza, NM State took off on a 15-6 run to hike its
lead to 18 points.
• Wilfried Likayi - who was making his first appearnce after missing the previous three
games - drained a corner three during that surge, Will McNair threw down a driving
one-handed dunk and C.J. Roberts wrapped up the run with a fast-break layup to make
the score 60-42.
• Undeterred, Dixie State began the long process of battling back. Through the next
7:36, the Trailblazers took off on a 17-4 scoring spree of their own and used a multi-
pronged attack to get back in it. Six Dixie State players generated points during that run
with Schofield capping it off by draining a pair of foul shot with 5:23 left.
• Following those free throw makes, NM State found itself clinging to a 64-59 lead. The
Aggies hadn’t hit a field goal in nearly eight minutes, but Roberts changed that when he
splashed a second-chance three-pointer at the five-minute mark to stop the Trailblazers’
run.
• Roberts’ trifecta was the starting point of a game-clinching 10-0 surge by the visitors.
Rice essentially sealed the deal by coldly connecting on his fifth and final three-pointer
with 2:44 to go. That long-range hit made NM State’s lead 74-59 and proved to be too
much for Dixie State to recover from.

KEY PERFORMERS/STATISTICS OF NOTE


• Rice’s 20-point effort was his third of the 2020-21 season while Tillman finished with
13. Those two were just two of the four Aggies who finished in double-digits as Gilyard II
wrapped up his night with 12. Roberts added 10 off the bench, helping the visitors claim
a 22-19 edge in bench scoring.
• With McCants on the Aggies’ side, Dixie State didn’t have a chance at winning the
rebounding war. Though he only finished with six points, the Las Cruces, N.M., product’s
season-high 12 boards featured 10 of the offensive variety. It helped McCants match his
career-best offensive rebounding output and represented the most offensive rebounds
by an Aggie since McCants generated 10 in a WAC setback at California Baptist on Jan.
3, 2019.
• NM State enjoyed a 43-29 (+14) advantage on the glass against Dixie State. That
figure included a 24-8 (+16) edge in offensive rebounding and as a result NM State
wrapped up Friday night’s tilt with a 21-11 edge in second-chance points.
• Schofield contributed 20 points to the Trailblazers’ cause while Gooden turned in 16 as
well as a game-high five assists.
• NM State won its 14th consecutive regular season game in the month of March. That
stretch dates back to the year 2013.
• Head coach Chris Jans is a perfect 6-0 in regular season games during the month of
March as the Aggies’ bench boss. Against WAC teams in March, Jans is the owner of a
perfect 12-0 record and overall he’s 12-2 in the month as NM State’s head coach.

SECOND HALF
• McCants came on strong through the opening minutes of the deciding frame by scor-
ing or assisting on each of the Aggies’ first four field goals.
• With 8:43 to go in the game, finished off a 10-0 run by watching C.J. Roberts connect
on a three-pointer off of an assist from McCants. That long ball pushed NM State’s edge
to a seemingly insurmountable 18 points, 59-41, but for the second-straight night Dixie
State battled back to make it a game.
• Through the next four minutes, the Trailblazers took off on a 12-3 run which whittled
the Aggies’ lead down to single digits, 62-53, with 4:55 left. Five Dixie State players
scored during that surge with Jarod Greene putting in four of his team’s 12 through the
run.
• With the ball in his hands and 4:25 left in the game, Tillman deftly gave the rock up to
a back-door cutting Roberts who pushed the visitors’ edge back to double digits, 64-53,
by connecting on a smooth reverse layup.
• Through the last six minutes of the game, Dixie State hit just a single field goal - An-
drea Mulibea’s three-pointer with 38 seconds left that was far too little and much too late
to make and substantial difference in the tilt.

KEY PERFORMERS/STATISTICS OF NOTE


• Tillman’s 22 points represented the highest single-game scoring total by an Aggies in
the 2020-21 season. Coming into Saturday night’s showdown, Tillman had totaled just
three three-pointers all season. By the time the night was done, he had doubled that
number with a 3-of-5 showing from downtown.
• McCants either set or matched his career highs in assists (five, tied), blocked shots
(three, tied) and steals (five, set) in his astounding all-around performance. His six
rebounds were tied for a team-high with McCants.
• Clayton Henry rounded out the Aggies’ main trio of scorers by putting in 10 points on
4-of-6 shooting.
• For the Trailblazers, who wrapped up their first transitional season as an NCAA Division
I program, Gooden dropped in a team-high 14 points while Schofield (10) and Staine (10)
also racked up double-digit point totals. Schofield grabbed a game-high seven rebounds
for Dixie State, too.
• The win allowed NM State to earn its first WAC sweep of the season. Additionally, NM
State extended its season-long winning streak to three games with the victory.
• NM State won the battle of the boards by a 37-30 margin and put up shooting splits
of .444/.292/.722 in the triumph. The Aggies also forced 17 turnovers and owned a
30-20 edge in paint scoring on the night.
• Dating back to the 2013 season, NM State has now won 15 consecutive regular
season games in the month of March.
• Head coach Chris Jans is a perfect 7-0 in regular season games during the month of
March as the Aggies’ bench boss. Against WAC teams in March, Jans is the owner of a
perfect 13-0 record and overall he’s 13-2 in the month as NM State’s head coach.

TOTALS - 200 21-52 2-16 17-28 8-16-24 16 12 12 3 3 61 tained a 7-0 NM State surge to end the half. Detroit’s finest put in five straight points and
40.4% 12.5% 60.7% Likayi concluded the surge in a powerful way, hammering home a driving two-handed
baseline slam to account for NM State’s 39-24 lead at the break.
• The Aggies could do almost no wrong during the half, putting up shooting splits of
.519/.417/.750 and out-rebounding the Vaqueros 20-10. Likayi and Tillman combined
for 19 of the team’s 37 points at the break, but it was hardly a two-man show as eight
Aggies put in points.

SECOND HALF
• NM State didn’t waste any time at all in carrying over its momentum from the late
stages of the first half. Clayton Henry drained a pair of free throws before McCants slung
in a triple with 17:05 left to increase the Aggies’ lead to 44-24.
• Continuing to pour it on in the hopes of making sure all of their rust was completely
shaken off for the most important stretch of game of the year, the Aggies’ lead bal-
looned to 25, 73-48, after Marcus Watson hit a tip-in layup to finish a personal 5-0 run.
• With the game well in hand, NM State emptied its bench and saw Gerald Doakes,
Mayan Kiir, Tennessee Owens and Bryce Rewalt all make their WAC Tournament debuts
through the closing minutes of the game.
• The Aggies’ accuracy from the field didn’t diminish through the final frame either. NM
State shot .522/.583/.778 in the stanza and all 14 of its available players saw the
court.

KEY PERFORMERS/STATISTICS OF NOTE


• Likayi’s WAC Tournament debut couldn’t have gone any better as the sharpshooting
junior sprung for a game-high 15 points on 5-of-7 shooting off the bench. Tillman turned
in a 12-point, five-rebound performance while passing out two of the Aggies’ 15 assists.
• Jabari Rice flirted with a double-double by concluding his night with nine points and a
game-high nine rebounds. Those nine boards helped the Aggies own a 38-24 (+14) edge
on the glass.
• Kalen Williams dished out a team-high four assists for NM State who came up with
helpers on 15 of its 26 made field goals.
• Jeff Otchere pumped in 15 points for UTRGV while Levi added 12 in the team’s final
game of the season.
• NM State moved to 10-2 all-time as a number-three seed in the WAC Tournament and
is 13-0 all-time in the quarterfinal round of the league tourney.
• Head coach Chris Jans is now 7-0 as the Aggies’ bench boss in the WAC Tourna-
ment. Additionally, he has won his last 14 games in the month of March against WAC
opposition.

35.7% 30% 72.7% 29.8 % 23.8 % 76.7 %
top of the key just 31 seconds into the second semifinal showdown.
• Eight of the Aggies’ first 15 points through that run were put in by Detroit’s finest while
Jabari Rice added the other seven to give the lower seed an early 13-point edge.
• It took a minute, but the Wolverines finally found their footing on offense and from
there the battle was on. Sparked by the play of Trey Woodbury, Utah Valley took off on
a 10-4 run fueled by six points off the mitts of Woodbury. That surge cut the Aggies’
lead to 19-12 with 7:35 to go in the frame, giving the opportunity for an unlikely hero to
emerge.
• Sophomore guard Kalen Williams, who had a meager five points in his team’s quarter-
final victory the night prior, provided the Aggies with the offensive spark they needed
for the remainder of the frame. The Hephzibah, Ga., netted eight of the Aggies’ final 13
points of the half and dropped in a nifty mid-range job at the horn to hand NM State a
32-23 advantage upon the conclusion of the opening stanza.
• The story was in part the Aggies and their hot start, but the defense deserved credit,
too. NM State allowed Utah Valley to go just 7-of-29 (24.1-percent) from the field in the
first frame, making it an uphill climb for the Wolverines all night long.

SECOND HALF
• Starting each half strong was preached by head coach Chris Jans and the Aggies fol-
lowed his order to the letter. Evan Gilyard II and Rice sandwiched two-point shots around
a Johnny McCants triple as the Aggies started the final frame on a 7-0 run to push their
lead to 39-23 with 17:43 left.
• Keeping their foot pressed firmly on the gas pedal, the Aggies ran their lead to 20
points, 49-29, following a driving layup from Tillman at the 12:55 mark of the half.
Gilyard II splashed a three-pointer of his own with 10:06 left to keep the Aggies’ edge at
20 points, 54-34, but that’s when things got a little tenuous.
• Incensed at the success the lower-seeded Aggies were having, Woodbury took it upon
himself to try and will the Wolverines back into the game. The guard scored 12-straight
points for Utah Valley before Jamison Overton added five in a row which cut NM State’s
lead down to 61-51 with 5:27 left.
• Woodbury continued his assault on the Aggies by getting a runner to fall with 3:58 to
go. That hoop shrank NM State’s lead to 62-53, but on the ensuing Aggie possession
Overton was whistled for a technical foul after voicing his displeasure with a call down
on the block. Tillman stepped to the line and hit the two technical foul free throws before
adding two more on the foul he drew preceding the tech to push the Aggies’ lead back
to double-digits, 66-53.
• Tillman effectively called game with 3:01 left by canning a wide-open three-pointer
right in front of the Aggies’ bench which made matters 71-54.

KEY PERFORMERS/STATISTICS OF NOTE


• Tillman’s 23-point performance came at the hands of the league’s Player of the Year
and Defensive Player of the Year Fardaws Aimaq. Though Aimaq did grab hold of a
game-high 13 rebounds, he shot 0-for-7 from the field as the Aggies frustrated him all
night long.
• Rice added 13 more points for the Aggies on 4-of-5 shooting while McCants’ energy
was unmatched. The Las Cruces, N.M., product wrapped up his night with nine points,
six rebounds and two of the Aggies’ five blocked shots.
• Woodbury went wild, winding up with a game-high 34 points on 8-of-19 shooting and
a 15-of-16 effort at the foul line. Overton added 11 for the Wolverines who saw their
season come to an end.
• For the game, NM State held the Wolverines to a shooting clip of just 29.8-percent
(17-of-57) while included a 5-of-21 (23.8-percent) showing from three-point range.
• NM State moved to 11-2 all-time as a number-three seed in the WAC Tournament and
is 12-3 all-time in the semifinal round of the league tourney.
• Head coach Chris Jans is now 8-0 as the Aggies’ bench boss in the WAC Tourna-
ment. Additionally, he has won his last 15 games in the month of March against WAC
opposition.

SECOND HALF
• Trying to come out strong, the Aggies could not find and sort of foothold on offense
against the Lopes. Grand Canyon hiked its lead to as many as 19 points, 63-44, before
all was said and done.
• Triples by Gilyard II on back-to-back Aggie possessions cut the Lopes’ lead down to
63-50 with 4:58 to go, but NM State put in just one more field goal from that point on.
• Grand Canyon iced the game by going 9-for-9 at the foul line through the last 2:22.

KEY PERFORMERS/STATISTICS OF NOTE


• The Aggies lost the battle of the boards to the towering Lopes by a 39-25 margin and
put up shooting splits of .364/.281/.778 in the setback.
• Blacksher Jr’s energy was evident from the get-go as he wrapped up with a game-high
19 points on 7-of-10 shooting. Asbjørn Midtgaard contributed 12 points as well as a
game-high eight rebounds in the Lopes first WAC Tournament title game victory.
• NM State, who was making its 10th-straight appearance in the WAC Tournament title
bout, saw its 11-game winning streak in league tournament tilts come to an end.
• Aggie head coach Chris Jans suffered his first setback in the WAC Tournament, too,
dropping to 8-1 all-time in the league’s postseason tourney.
• Tillman was joined on the WAC All-Tournament Team by Midtgaard, Seattle U’s Darrion

#AGGIEUP PAN AMERICAN CENTER
For the 54th consecutive season, the New Mexico State men’s basketball team calls the Pan American Center home in
2021-22 and for five decades now, opponents from around the nation have had to contend with both the Aggies and
the challenging atmosphere of the Pan American Center. The program also celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Pan
American Center for the entire 2018-19 campaign.

Over the years, the Aggies and their fans have welcomed opponents to Las Cruces with fierceness and tenacity,
both on the court and in the stands, the likes of which are hard to find elsewhere in college basketball. In 1998-99
and 1999-00, the Pan American Center was named the “Toughest Play to Play,” in the Big West Conference by Dick
Vitale’s College Basketball Preview.

On Nov. 30, 1968, the Pan American Center first opened its doors to the New Mexico State basketball team as
the Aggies ushered in the new era with a 95-89 defeat of Colorado State in the Pan American Center Dedication
Tournament. The victory over the Rams began a remarkable tradition of excellence and winning at the Pan American
Center. Since the 1968-69 season, the Aggies are an astonishing record of 575-149 in the Pan American Center,
a winning percentage of nearly .800 percent. In their 49 years of playing in the Pan American Center, the Aggies
have posted winning records in all but two years, including a streak of 19-straight winning seasons from 1985-86 to
2003-04.

NM State has had four undefeated seasons at the Pan American Center, including a then-school-best 16-0 mark
during the 1989-90 campaign. After posting a 15-1 record in their inaugural season at the Pan American Center, the
Aggies registered back-to-back undefeated seasons at home with records of 15-0 and 14-0 in 1969-70 and 1970-
71, respectively. The next season, NM State went 13-2 at home to end its first four seasons in the Pan American
Center with an overall record of 57-2.

In 1978-79, the Aggies again recorded a mark of 13-2 and a year later, NM State notched its third undefeated
season at the Pan American Center, going a perfect 14-0. After winning a school-record 16 games at home during
the 1989-90 campaign, the Aggies went 15-1 the next season as the Pan American Center set attendance records
with 168,717 total fans and an average 10,545 fans per game.

In 2006-07, the Aggies set a program record for home wins in a season with 19 (19-1) as the team hosted and won
its first Western Athletic Conference Tournament Championship.

The Pan American Center, has hosted more than 13,000 fans for an Aggie basketball game 24 times since opening
in 1968. When the facility was constructed nearly four decades ago, the price tag on the facility was a monstrous
$3.5 million and was part of a university-wide $22 million construction program that included the Corbett Center and
two observatories on campus.

The Pan American Center was designed by W.C. Kruger and Associates of Santa Fe and is presently valued at
considerably more than the construction price back in 1968. It is one of the finest sports facilities in the southwest
and one of the largest in the Rocky Mountain region. The Pan American Center underwent a $23 million renovation
during 2006-07 that included the annex at the building’s south end that houses locker room facilities, athletic and
special events offices and support facilities. The renovation also added a larger concourse around the circumference
of the arena, adding additional restrooms and concession facilities. The renovation reduced the seating capacity to
its current 12,572.

A trademark of the Pan Am is its distinct parquet floor. The current floor is just the third in the history of the facility,
put into service with the 2011-12 season. On February 9, 2002, New Mexico State University honored former Aggie
head coach Lou Henson by naming the basketball court in the Pan American Center ‘Lou Henson Court’.
“I’m deeply humbled by this great honor. I have been blessed in many different ways in my life, now my cup runneth
over. Outside of faith, family, and friends, the game of basketball has meant everything to me. To be recognized
in this manner by my alma mater is very gratifying. I am most grateful to the NMSU Board of Regents and
administrators for their generous actions.”

Dr. Arvizu serves on a number of boards, panels and advisory committees including the State Farm Mutual Insurance Board of Directors, the
