The Lobos rallied from 30-29 halftime deficit after the Aggies finished the first half with a 13-6 run.I thought our defense was a lot better, New Mexico coach Craig Neal said. I thought their focus was a lot better, just because of how hard they played. If you play that hard, they can be really good.Ian Baker scored 25 for the Aggies (2-2) and Sidy NDir added 14, but the pair of guards combined to go 13 of 30 from the field.New Mexico overcame a poor shooting effort after going 1 for 10 on 3-pointers and 24 for 54 overall (44 percent). The Lobos made 23 of 37 free throws (62 percent), led by Williams, who was 10 of 13 from the line.Sam Logwood added 12 points and four assists for the Lobos.BIG PICTURENew Mexico: Brown and Williams are New Mexicos best players, but both were having off nights until the game was on the line. With the Lobos leading 44-42 after a 9-0 Aggies run, Williams and Brown combined to score 20 of the Lobos next 22 points in a 22-8 run that decided the game.I dont we had great execution in the first half then we slowed down and let the game come to us, Neal said. And then we had really good execution in the second half. We were able to Tim Williams and Elijah and some guys going.New Mexico State: The Aggies were unable to capitalize on a size advantage inside with 6-10 forward Johnathon Wilkins fouling out without any contributions and 7-2 Tanveer Bhullar finishing with nine points and 10 rebounds.The defensive rebounding still has a long way to go, New Mexico State coach Paul Weir said. We went to a small lineup which hurt us a little bit. But were just not rebounding well enough right now to win games.THIS JUST INNew Mexico junior forward Joe Furstinger, who had not played a minute in the first two games of the season, made his first appearance with 5:36 left in the in the first half and had an immediate impact, forcing a turnover on the ensuing inbounds play, then drawing an intentional foul on a drive on the other end of the floor. He finished with six points.He turned zero minutes into 12 because he did exactly what I asked him to do, Neal said. He didnt take any bad shots. He played with intensity. He played post defense. .He came in and did a heck of job. If I had an MVP of the game, it had to be him. He was outstanding.Likewise, Bhullar had not played this season either because of fitness issues, but he also made his presence felt.We kind of have some physical standards in place for these guys to meet in order to play, Paul Weir said. And Tanveer just met his. He wasnt going to play until he met them. I thought he looked pretty good for his first game. Hes trimmed down quite a bit. Hes moving a lot better. But he made an impact.QUOTABLEI think Tim thinks he can score on a guy whos eight-foot tall, Neal said of his power forward, who is averaging 23 points a game.UP NEXTNew Mexico heads to California to face Virginia Tech on Thanksgiving in the Wooden Legacy Classic in Fullerton.

Very little was about golf.They talked about Gribbles Texas Longhorns and their big win in football over Baylor on Saturday. They talked about the Chicago Cubs and the World Series. They discussed their upcoming trip to Las Vegas.Anything to keep Gribbles mind off the incredible run he was making.I knew I was in a good spot and I knew I was playing well, Gribble said. Its hard not to sit there and look at the scoreboard, look where youre at and how youre doing.The small talk worked. Gribble finished with a 7-under 65 -- which included five birdies on a spectacular back nine -- to turn a tight fight into a four-stroke victory and his PGA Tour title.The 26-year-old rookie started the day a stroke behind playing partners Chris Kirk and Luke List.Gribble had two birdies on the front nine to stay in contention, then ran off birdies on Nos. 11, 13, 15, 16 and 17. He finished at 20-under 268.Gribble looked as if he might have trouble just making the cut at the Country Club of Jackson after an opening 73. He bounced back with a 63 in the second round to jump into contention -- one shy of the course record -- and followed it up with a 67 on Saturday.On Sunday, Gribble started slowly, but picked up steam on an unseasonably hot day in Jackson where the temperature pushed 90 degrees. He made a short birdie putt on 11 and then hit a difficult downhhill 18-foot putt for birdie on 13.ddddddddddddThen he was rolling, making three more birdies on 15, 16 and 17 to pull away.Kirk and List each shot 70 to tie for second with Englands Greg Owen (68).Cody played unbelievable, List said. He definitely deserved to win. I was happy to scramble around and get a couple under out of it.Kirk won the tournament in 2011, back when it was called the Viking Classic and played at nearby Annandale Golf Club. He was in contention again at the Country Club of Jackson after shooting a 65 in the third round, but nobody was able to keep up with Gribbles torrid pace on Sunday.It was definitely impressive watching Cody play that back nine, Kirk said. I wish that I could have given him a little better run. I was just a little bit off, I guess.Gribble played in college at Texas and is the second member of the schools 2012 national championship team to win a PGA Tour event. The other is Jordan Spieth.Gribble obviously has a way to go to match the accomplishments of Spieth, who is among the worlds best players, but the Sanderson Farms win is certainly a good start. He earned $756,000, 300 FedExCup points and exempt status on tour through the 2018-19 season.The four-stroke win was the second largest in tournament history, trailing Frank Conners five-stroke win in 1988.-----Follow David Brandt on Twitter: www.twitter.com/davidbrandtAP ' ' '
