TEMPE, Ariz. -- New Mexico State looks ready to defend its WAC regular season championship after Saturdays momentous win over Arizona State of the Pac-12.Braxton Huggins scored 24 points and Ian Baker added 19 with eight assists and seven rebounds to lead the Aggies to an 81-70 win over the Sun Devils.Huggins knocked down a season-high six 3-pointers and Baker had season highs in assists and rebounds.

We felt if we came in and played well we would have a shot and fortunately we were able to come out with a victory against a very good basketball team.The Sun Devils (6-5) suffered through a poor second half of shooting, making just 10 of 33 shots, and coach Bobby Hurley was ejected with two technical fouls midway through the half.Obinna Oleka led ASU with 15 points and 11 rebounds. The Sun Devils had eight scholarship players available and all played.The Aggies (10-2) led by as many as 10 points in the first half, with Huggins making four of the teams eight first-half 3-pointers. He had 14 points at halftime.We just tried to run in transition and get everybody open looks, Huggins said. My teammates did a good job of passing me the ball when I was open.Arizona State trailed 29-22 midway through the half, then went on a 10-0 run. Kodi Justice hustled to save the ball from going out of bounds at one end, then made a spinning floater at the other to make the score 29-28 with 8:38 to go.That energized the crowd, and it rose to its feet seconds later when Shannon Evans II dove for a loose ball and tapped it to Torian Graham for a fast break dunk to put the Sun Devils in front.The lead changed hands until Jermaine Haley hit a corner 3 with four seconds left to give the Aggies a 40-38 halftime lead.Early in the game we had issues getting stops, and our offense was kind of just able to keep us going, Weir said.The Sun Devils didnt score for more than four minutes to start the second half and the Aggies built the lead to 55-45 on a Johnathon Wilkins jumper with 12:28 to play.They outhustled us, outplayed us, they wanted it more and we were relaxed and lackadaisical, Evans said.Hurley picked up his second technical and was ejected at the 9:47 mark, at which point the Aggies led 62-47.I wish I could have congratulated them for the game they played, Hurley said.BIG PICTURENew Mexico State: The Aggies head home to Las Cruces, N.M., for their next three games, including one on Dec. 30 against UTEP in the Battle of I-10 series, the second meeting of the month between the teams.

In a short career clouded by setbacks Weatherly has already ignited the hype associated with a colt which has Group One potential.Weatherly is set to make his long-awaited return to racing in the Listed Razor Sharp Handicap (1200m) at Randwick on Saturday.Hes a first-class horse. Hes a top-ender theres no doubt about that, Messara said.Weatherly showed a glimpse of his potential with a powerful victory in the Listed Talindert Stakes at Flemington in February, a race he was entered in after a mucus build-up scuttled his Blue Diamond Stakes tilt.The colt was on his way towards the Golden Rose after trialling in July but was found to be suffering an entrapped epiglottis, a respiratory condition which required minor surgery.All was in place for a return after winning trials in October and early November, but this time a virus reapplied the brakes.Every time hes been ready to race weve had the setback so its cost him a fair bit, Messara said.As he prepares to return after more than nine months out of racing, Messara naturally has some reservations about Weatherlys winning chances.He might be a little bit ring-rusty and need a good hit-out but nonetheless Im happy enough going into it, Messara said.dddddddddddduck will play its part from barrier one with Messara hoping jockey Tommy Berry can get the breaks at the right time.If Weatherly can put his talent on full display Messara will consider a trip to New Zealand for the Group One Telegraph Stakes at Trentham in January.Messara trained Weatherlys sire Beneteau who was Group One-placed before retiring to Arrowfield Stud where he died in early 2013.This bloke would be quicker than Beneteau in a pure sprinting sense, Messara said.I dont think Ive had many horses faster than this horse.With a talented colt comes pressure to win Group One races and enhance a horses stud value, but Messara is only concerned with the factors he can control.Its the same pressure with every horse but some of them make it easy and other make it difficult, he said.When theyve got that talent youve got to be willing to do whatever is necessary to extract the best result.
