No more March Madness for New Mexico as Clemson ousts popular Lobos 77-56

Associated Press  

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Chase Hunter scored 21 points and sixth-seeded Clemson ended No. 11 seed New Mexico’s hopes of repeating the Mountain West’s run in the NCAA Tournament, beating the Lobos 77-56 on Friday. New Mexico won its league tournament, beating a trio of teams that also earned March Madness berths including SDSU — last year’s national runner-up. Tigers coach Brad Brownell said his team worked to keep New Mexico from getting to the rim, and Clemson wound up with a 38-28 scoring edge in the paint. “Getting off to a good start was extremely helpful as well.” New Mexico coach Richard Pitino said he couldn’t remember his Lobos making two shots in a row, adding that it felt like the rims were tight.
