"I thought it was a good effort by McGill," said Aggies head coach Marvin Menzies. "They (McGill) had a couple of older professional players, and they really challenged our guys and did a great job of hitting open shots and handling the pressure at times. It was good experience for us to get out and see what our guys are going to be made of.

"It's always good to have a close game with a lot of lessons and get the 'W'. They (the Aggies) are feeling good right now, and they know they beat a pretty good team so I'm optimistic that this evening we can get another one."

At halftime, the Aggies trailed, 39-37, behind seven points from Laroche. NM State's offence was balanced with 10 players seeing the court in the first half. Rahman scored six points while Watson, Nephawe and Castillo, who hit the first 3-pointer of the game, had five points each.
