No. 22 New Mexico 63, Wyoming 59:
Guard Hugh Greenwood scored 13 points, including a game-winning jumper with 7.4 seconds remaining, and grabbed a career-high 10 rebounds to lead the visiting Lobos.

Forward Cameron Bairstow scored a career-high 17 points while guard Kendall Williams finished with 12 and center Alex Kirk added 10 points for New Mexico (18-3, 5-1 MWC), which remained in sole possession of first place in the Mountain West.

Guard Derrious Gilmore scored 15 points and Leonard Washington and Riley Grabau each chipped in with 11 for Wyoming (15-5, 2-5), which lost for the first time in three games this season against a ranked opponent.

New Mexico used a 12-0 run to take an early 12-5 lead and led most of the first half until Josh Adams put Wyoming back ahead 18-17 with 5:11 to go. The lead see-sawed back and forth the rest of the half until Grabau's desperation 3-pointer at the buzzer gave Wyoming a 28-27 halftime edge.

Grabau hit another 3 with 23 seconds left in the game to tie the score at 59, but Greenwood then hit a 17-foot pull-up jumper off a screen by Kirk to the right of the key for the game-winner. After a long Wyoming inbounds pass went out of bounds, Greenwood sealed the win with a pair of free throws.

GAME NOTEBOOK: Wyoming tied a season-high with 12 3-pointers. ... New Mexico has won 10 of last 12 meetings with the Cowboys. ... Wyoming lost for the first time in 11 games when leading at halftime.
