New Mexico State Aggies Dominate Texas A&M-Corpus Christi in Recent College Basketball Match

The New Mexico State Aggies secured a convincing victory over the Texas A&M-Corpus Christi Islanders in their college basketball match on November 14, 2024. The game, held at the Pan American Center in Las Cruces, New Mexico, saw the Aggies maintain their strong form against non-conference opponents.

The New Mexico State Aggies, who entered the game with a 2-0 record, continued their dominance by holding the Islanders to a low scoring percentage. The Aggies are averaging 84 points on 48% shooting and allowing just 60 points on 28.9% shooting per game. Key players Zawdie Jackson and Christian Cook led the charge, with Jackson averaging 19 points and 4.5 rebounds, and Cook averaging 18 points and 3 rebounds.

The Texas A&M-Corpus Christi Islanders, with a 1-2 record, struggled against the Aggies’ strong defense. Despite averaging 80.3 points on 50.3% shooting, the Islanders’ defensive issues were evident as they allowed the Aggies to control the game. Garry Clark and Owen Dease were among the top scorers for the Islanders, but their efforts were not enough to overcome the Aggies’ performance.

The Aggies’ victory was also influenced by their historical performance at the Pan American Center, where they have won nine of their last 10 games against non-conference opponents. This home court advantage, combined with their defensive prowess, made it difficult for the Islanders to mount a significant challenge.
