Las Vegas, New Mexico - The Cowboys head back out on the road Tuesday afternoon for a game in Silver City against in-state rival Western New Mexico. Tip-off is set for 1:00 pm.
NMHU moved to 4-1 on the season with an 85-63 win over CSU-Pueblo in a non-conference game last Saturday afternoon. Ten different Cowboys scored in the contest led by
Blessin Kimble's game high 20 points.
The Cowboys' smothering defense held the visiting ThunderWolves to 41% shooting from the floor and forced 14 turnovers that they converted into 25 points.
Last season the Mustangs came to historic Las Vegas and dealt the Cowboys a heart-breaking 80-79 set-back when Cortaviaus Seales drained a three point heave from near half-court as time expired.
This is the first trip to Silver City for the Cowboys since November 14, 2018, when they beat the Mustangs 70-67.
The Cowboys return home for a post-Thanksgiving contest with Western Colorado on Friday afternoon at 1:00 pm.
