LAS CRUCES, N.M. (AP) - Jabari Rice scored 16 points and Clayton Henry 15 and New Mexico State used a late first-half outburst to take control in a 69-51 win over UTRGV on Tuesday.
Javon Levi’s 3-pointer at 7:48 before halftime put the Vaqueros up 15-12. After C.J. Roberts’ layup for the Aggies, Rice made a 3, threw down and dunk and Johnny McCants added a three-point play and made 1 of 2 foul shots and New Mexico outscored UTRGV 19-4 for a 31-19 halftime advantage.
