The Lobos had seven turnovers, three of them traveling calls, in the first 5½ minutes. TCU jumped out to a 13-4 lead and didn't have a turnover the first 10 minutes.

Then the Frogs had turnovers on four consecutive possessions, allowing the Lobos to tie the game and go ahead for the first time.

Jamal Fenton slung a pass through the defense to a wide-open Hardeman for a dunk for New Mexico's first lead, 21-20, at the 7:40 mark. Gordon then had a breakaway dunk after Fields missed a 3-pointer.

The game was tied 38-all at halftime. Greenwood grabbed a blocked shot out of the air and put it right back in before the buzzer.

"We have no excuses," Hardeman said. "We just came out flat, we lost. We didn't handle our business like we're supposed to in this situation."
