What to Know
New Mexico is 2-8 against Utah State since March of 2019 but they’ll have a chance to close the gap a little bit on Saturday. Both teams will face off in a Mountain West battle at 8:30 p.m. ET at Dee Glen Smith Spectrum. Both squads will be entering this one on the heels of a big victory.
Even though New Mexico has not done well against Fresno State recently (they were 2-8 in their previous ten matchups), they didn’t let the past get in their way on Wednesday. The Lobos were the clear victor by a 79-58 margin over the Bulldogs. New Mexico was heavily favored coming into this match, and the results showcase why.
New Mexico’s success was the result of a balanced attack that saw several players step up, but JT Toppin led the charge by dropping a double-double on 15 points and 16 rebounds. Toppin is on a roll when it comes to blocks, as he’s now posted two or more in the last four games he’s played. Nelly Junior Joseph was another key contributor, dropping a double-double on 12 points and 12 rebounds.
Meanwhile, Utah State had already won three in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 7 points), and they went ahead and made it four on Wednesday. Everything went their way against the Spartans as the Aggies made off with a 90-70 win. Winning is a bit easier when you make nine more threes than your opponent, as Utah State did.
Utah State got their victory on the backs of several key players, but it was Darius Brown II out in front who shot 7-for-9 from long range and almost dropped a double-double on 21 points and nine assists. The team also got some help courtesy of Mason Falslev, who scored 20 points along with six rebounds.
The Lobos’ victory bumped their record up to 22-8. As for the Aggies, their victory bumped their record up to 25-5.
This contest is one where the number of possessions is likely to be a big factor: New Mexico have been smashing the glass this season, having averaged 39.3 rebounds per game. However, it’s not like Utah State struggles in that department as they’ve been averaging 36.4 rebounds per game. Given these competing strengths, it’ll be interesting to see how their clash plays out.
New Mexico was able to grind out a solid win over Utah State when the teams last played back in January, winning 99-86. The rematch might be a little tougher for New Mexico since the team won’t have the home-court advantage this time around. We’ll see if the change in venue makes a difference.

Eastern New Mexico volleyball falls to 0-4 in conference play after loss to Angelo State
PORTALES, N.M. (KFDA) – The Eastern New Mexico Greyhounds volleyball team was not able to get their first conference win, falling to No. 14-ranked Angelo State on Saturday in Portales on Homecoming.
The Greyhounds got some life after winning the first set (25-23), which is the first set they’ve won in their last three games.
That momentum wouldn’t hold, as the Rambelles took the last three sets (22-25, 15-25, 13-25) to end the day.
Evelyn Torres from Angelo State finished with 15 kills and 20 digs in the match.
The senior from Hereford high school, Darcy Dodd, was the only Greyhound with 10 or more kills and tied for fourth for the most digs on the team.
ENMU will be on the road in Oklahoma for their next match against Cameron on Wednesday.
Following this loss, they now sit at 3-11 on the year and are 16th in the Lone Star Conference.

Curry to renegotiate events center contract
Curry County will renegotiate its contract with the company managing the Curry County Events Center. But it won’t attempt to terminate the agreement as commissioners discussed last month.
At Tuesday’s meeting, Commissioner Seth Martin said he’s still not happy the Oak View Group 360 exceeded its budget for the last fiscal year.
“If it were up to me, I would escort y’all off the property and have Curry County take over,” Martin said. He said commissioners and administrators were “led to believe” the management group was under budget until a final report was delivered on Sept. 24.
Officials said OVG 360 exceeded its budget by about $180,000. The Events Center operated at a loss of $858,000 for the year, though most of that was expected.
Martin asked County Attorney Dan Macke to look into whether OVG 360 breached its contract with the county by exceeding its budget.
“But the important thing,” said Commissioner Robert Thornton, “is we instructed (county) management to re-negotiate our contract with OVG 360.
“If we were to just end the contract we would have to give them 30 days notice, they would have 30 days to correct the problem and then we’d have to give them 90 days notice of termination. And their contract ends Jan. 1,” Thornton said.
One thing commissioners, county administrators and OVG representatives seemed to agree on: the Events Center is more an equestrian center than a concert venue.
“The Events Center was built as an equestrian deal,” Thornton said after the meeting.
Rebecca Bolton and Kevin Ortiz, administrators from OVG 360, appeared before commissioners with plans the company has to rectify the problematic financial issues. And Bolton said the company’s equestrian and rodeo events professional will be brought in to work with events center General Manager K. C. Messick.
Ortiz told commissioners, “K. C. is severely understaffed.”
Martin reiterated he was interested in cutting losses.
“I’m not trying to make this facility make money. It won’t. I would like to see us work together,” Martin said of OVG 360 and the county government.
“We are partners and stewards,” said Bolton.
Some commissioners expressed support for Messick.
“I believe K.C. was blamed for things he didn’t do,” Commissioner Dusty Leatherwood said.
“K.C. works his tail off there. And I don’t dislike OVG 360,” Commissioner Brad Bender said.
“K.C. cares about this place,” Thornton said.
“I think we can do better. I think K.C. can do better,” Leatherwood added.
Much of the Commission’s other business at Tuesday’s specially called meeting dealt with more routine matters:
n In a proclamation, commissioners declared Thursday as “Blue Day” in Curry County celebrating Zia Elementary School being named as a “National Blue Ribbon School.”
As a “Blue Day,” area residents are encouraged to wear blue that day.
• Commissioners unanimously passed a resolution of support for the General Obligation Bond 3 on the Nov. 5 ballot, which contains $2 million for Clovis Community College if voters approve the measure.
