New Mexico coach Craig Neal knew his team had guys capable of making big shots. At the Charleston Classic on Thursday, Neal watched three of his players hit 3-pointers to save the 19th-ranked Lobos.
Kendall Williams, who finished with 29 points, and Alex Kirk had late 3-pointers that forced a first and second time overtime and Cleveland Thomas hit a 3 to put New Mexico (3-0) up for good in a 97-94, double overtime thriller Thursday.
