House Pours in 28 in Huge Win
Jaelen House ended with 28 points (10-22 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 5-5 FT), five rebounds, one assist and three steals in 37 minutes during Saturday’s 68-61 win over San Diego State. House dominated Saturday’s Mountain West Championship game against San Diego State, dropping 28 points with fairly efficient shooting splits of 45.5/42.9/100. It’s clear that the senior guard lives for these big moments, as he averaged 23 points, 3.8 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 2.3 steals per game across the Lobos’ four Mountain West Tournament wins. New Mexico is dancing, and House will look to continue his recent stretch of dominance as the 11-seeded Lobos take on six-seeded Clemson in the West Region on Mar. 22.
Hall Scores 21 Points in Loss
PJ Hall ended with 21 points (8-14 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-5 FT), one rebound and one block across 31 minutes during Wednesday’s 76-55 loss to Boston College. Hall barely did anything else outside of putting up points on the board, but his scoring contributions were not enough, as the Eagles simply destroyed Clemson on both ends of the court. Hall ends his senior year with averages of 18.8 points, 6.7 rebounds and 1.6 blocks per game.
