ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — Kendall Williams scored 28 points and was a school-record 16-of-16 on free throws, and Alex Kirk added 21 points with 11 rebounds as New Mexico beat San Diego 73-66 Saturday.
The Lobos (5-1) erased a 12-point deficit in the first half, closing with a 17-3 run fueled by nine points from Williams and eight from Kirk.
