New Mexico State upsets New Mexico 89-83 in overtime.  In a game that the Lobos were favored by 20-points, NMSU shoots nearly 50% from the field and 14-of-31 from 3 complete the improbable win..  The Aggies were led by Christian Cook's 27 points and Robert Carpenter's 20.  UNM could not get anything going offensively and NMSU, at times, looked like they couldn't miss.
Ricky, Nick, and Erik break down the numbers and provide their analysis of the game.
