New Mexico secured a hard-fought 70‑64 victory over Grand Canyon on Wednesday night, led by a stellar performance from key guard Hall, who poured in 23 points to guide the Lobos to the win.
Hall’s scoring outburst was complemented by strong contributions from the supporting cast, including rebounds and assists that helped maintain control in the closing minutes.
Grand Canyon stayed within striking distance, thanks to solid play from their backcourt, but crucial turnovers and missed shots down the stretch allowed New Mexico to pull away.
The Lobos executed well on both ends, with perimeter defense limiting open looks and fast-break opportunities converting into easy points.
The win improves New Mexico’s record and provides momentum as the team looks ahead to upcoming conference matchups.
Coach Richard Pitino praised Hall’s leadership on the court: “He showed poise under pressure and carried us when we needed it most.
That’s the kind of performance that wins close games.”
With this victory, New Mexico demonstrated resilience and teamwork, showing that they can rely on Hall’s scoring while integrating contributions from the rest of the roster to secure important wins.
