NMSU at UNM MBB game 2 2021

The Aggies head to Albuquerque to avenge their loss to the Lobos. The first game in Las Cruces saw an Aggie team without Chris Jans who was on COVID Protocols, and a blackout lasting 50 minutes in the Pan American Center. The blackout knocked out all cameras in the PAC and required famous Aggie broadcaster, Jack Nixon, to call the game on his flip phone. This game was a back an forth affair that resulted in some questionable behavior by Aggie players at the end which included stomping and dragging their feet on the UNM logo. UNM player Jamal Mashburn had this to say on the incident: “I mean, we did it to them when we won [in Las Cruces] so we expect them to do the same when they won." If anything these antics will reignite the rivalry that has not seen as high of player passions in the last few seasons.
