Haupt's late 3 lifts New Mexico over SDSU at The Pit
New Mexico defeated San Diego State 81-76 at The Pit, pulling into a tie for second in the Mountain West and likely forcing SDSU to win the conference tournament for an at-large NCAA bid. The Lobos grabbed control late as Luke Haupt hit a decisive 3 after a late-possession sequence, while SDSU squandered chances—especially at the free-throw line (13-for-22) and defending 6-9 freshman Tomislav Buljan who finished with 24 points and 18 rebounds. A controversial video review on the final inbound did not overturn the call. SDSU's next game is at Boise State.
