New Mexico downs San Diego State in MWC LAS VEGAS, March 10 (UPI) -- Tony Snell came off the bench to hit four 3-pointers Saturday, boosting New Mexico to the MWC tourney title with a 68-59 win over No. 21 San Diego Sate. The Lobos defeated both of the conference's nationally-ranked teams in a 24-hour period, having eliminated No. 20 UNLV Friday in the semifinals. New Mexico, which made regular trips to the NCAA Tournament during the 1990s, will be going to the event for just the third time in the last 13 years. The Lobos jumped to a 15-4 lead and had a 17-point advantage with 6:30 to play before the Aztecs put on a late comeback bid. San Diego State must rely on the NCAA Tournament committee for a bid into college basketball's big show. Kendall Williams added 13 points and Drew Gordon had 12 points to go with 12 rebounds for New Mexico (27-6). Chase Tapley led the way for the Aztecs (26-7) with 25 points.
