Utah State Aggies suffered a crushing 82-63 defeat against New Mexico Lobos in front of a sellout crowd at the Spectrum. Despite a nine-point lead early in the second half, a 21-5 run by the Lobos changed the game’s momentum. Utah State’s poor shooting performances, especially from the 3-point line and free-throw line, contributed to their downfall. Head coach Jerrod Calhoun expressed disappointment over the team’s lack of energy and offensive struggles.
Drake Allen led the Aggies with 14 points, while Deyton Albury added 12 points. The Lobos, on the other hand, saw five players score in double digits, with Mustapha Amzil and Nelly Junior Joseph leading the charge. New Mexico’s dominant second-half performance, shooting 56.7% from the field, secured the victory.
Despite injuries and officiating controversies, the Aggies are looking to use this loss as motivation to bounce back in their upcoming game against Wyoming. With a shift in the Mountain West standings, Utah State is determined to improve and return to their winning ways.
