New Mexico State Aggies Basketball Tickets

Former UNLV and NBA star Reggie Theus takes over a New Mexico State program that has had its struggles in recent years. And Theus knows he has some work to do before die Aggies, 6-24 last season, are able to contend in the WAG.
"When I look at die team and I think about what we have, being realistic, I think it's a three-to-four year project," Theus says. "But that doesn't mean that we can't be very competitive and make great strides in the meantime. Being competitive and fighting for a conference championship is really what it's all about."
Theus' immediate charge is to find some depth with an otherwise thin roster. He signed sk players over the summer months, but all six are four-year transfers and have to sit out this year.
And it appears the Aggies will be without 2004-05 leading scorer Duane John, who was indefinitely suspended over the summer for violating a team policy.
The backcourt will get a much-needed boost from Elijah Ingram, a 5' 11" guard who sat out last year as a transfer from St. John's. Ingram, who averaged 13.2 points pet game in 2003-04, will give the Aggies a scoring presence on the perimeter.
Up front, the Aggies have plenty of bodies but are largely unproven. Junior college transfer Supo Jegede will be asked to contribute immediately, and Theus will need some help from freshman forwards Chinemelu Elonu and Kevin Ford.
The Aggies do have 6'11" center Trevor Lawrence returning. He was a part-time starter a year ago who averaged 9.4 points and 4.6 rebounds.
