New Mexico looked sharp in a 75-57 win over Boston College in the fifth-place game of the 76 Classic on Sunday in Anaheim, Calif. The Lobos led from wire to wire, shooting 54.2 percent from the field and enjoying a decisive 33-21 advantage on the boards.
New Mexico (4-2) quickly put this game out of reach, scoring three quick baskets in the first minute of the game and jumping out to a 30-13 advantage by the six-minute mark of the first half. Hugh Greenwood punctuated an impressive first half with a 3-pointer from NBA range that staked the Lobos to a 41-25 advantage.
Boston College made a bit of a run in the second half scoring 10 unanswered points and frustrating the Lobos with their 1-3-1 zone to pull within eight points. New Mexico recovered, however, to regain a comfortable double-digit advantage.
