The Aggies are 7-22 all-time at the Big Dance with all seven of their wins coming from The last NM State win in the tournament came against St. Bonaventure in the NCAA Consolation game, 79-73, during its Final Four run in *Note: NM State had to vacate wins from , including a 3-3 mark in the NCAA Tournament during those years. If counted, it would NM State s 24th NCAA Tournament appearance with a all-time record with its last tournament victory coming against Nebraska (97-79) in NM State has now made an NCAA Tournament appearance in seven of the last nine years. This will be New Mexico State s first time playing an NCAA Tournament game in San Diego. In the last 10 losses for NM State in the Big Dance, two have come by single digits. Those two single-digit losses came against No. 13 San Diego State (73-69 OT) in 2014 and No. 12 Michigan State in 2010, AGAINST ALL ODDS Heading into Friday s contest, the 12th-seed has gone all-time since 1979 and have won at least one tournament in 15 of the last 17 years. When looking at the opening game of the tournament, 12-seeds are all-time while three of the last six 12/5 upsets have come in overtime. Heading into this year s tournament, here s a list of 12-seeds that got the upper-hand against their opponents 2017: Middle Tennessee > Minnesota : UALR > Purdue (OT2) 2016: Yale > Baylor : None 2014: Harvard > Cincinnati : North Dakota State > Oklahoma (OT) 2014: Stephen F. Austin > VCU (OT) WACTION IN THE BIG DANCE With the current makeup of the Western Athletic Conference, only three different teams have advanced to the NCAA Tournament in NM State (24), Seattle U (11) and CSU Bakersfield (2016) while the Aggies and Runners are the only teams to have advanced to the tournament as a member of the WAC. When the Aggies take the court on Friday, it ll be the 93rd time a WAC team has played in the NCAA Tournament. The WAC is all-time in the tournament. Here s how WAC teams have been seeded the last 10 years 2018: NM State 12 seed 2017: NM State 14 seed 2016: CSU Bakersfield 15 seed 2015: NM State - 15 seed 2014: NM State - 13 seed 2013: NM State - 13 seed 2012: NM State - 13 seed 2011: Utah State - 12 seed 2010: NM State - 12 seed Utah State (at-large) 12 seed 2009: Utah State - 11 seed Technically speaking, NM State is 2-2 all-time when playing as the 12-seed. However, three of those four games occurred during the season that was vacated by the NCAA. Thus, leaving NM State 0-1 as the 12-seed back in 2010 against Michigan State a affair in favor of the Spartans in Spokane, Wash., thanks to a lane Game 34 - #20/18 Clemson WAC Standings (Thru games on 3/10) (RPI thru games on 3/11) Rk.

JONES Jemerrio Jones was named the Western Athletic Conference Player of the Week (Feb. 26) after a stellar weekend in his final two home games in the Pan American Center. This is Jones third player of the week honor this season and seventh award for NM State this season through 16 weeks of action. By the end of last weekend, Jones was averaging 13.5 points, 17.0 rebounds, 5.5 assists to go with pair of blocks and steals for his 17th double-double of the year. Saturday was also the fourth time he had grabbed 20-plus rebounds in a singlegame, joining Sam Lacey as the only Aggie to do so in a single-season. Jones, Lacy and Billy Joe Price are the only Aggies to tally 20-plus rebounds four or more times in their career at NM State. With his 15 rebounds vs. Chicago State, Jones now has 395 rebounds on the year, moving him into fourth place and just two shy of passing Pascal Siakam (394, ) place. With at least one more game remaining, Jones needs 37 more rebounds to crack the top-10 in career rebounds at NM State which would have him surpass Jeff Smith (718, ). #SUPERJJ With 2:51 remaining in the game, senior Jemerrio Jones exited the game with a final line of six points, 20 rebounds, three assists and two steals. Those 20 rebounds him put him in great company, joining Sam Lacey as the only other Aggie to record 20 rebounds in back-to-back games. Game 34 - #20/18 Clemson (2/9/70) and Air Force (2/14/70) during the Final Four run. Jones tallied his against UT Rio Grande Valley and CSU Bakersfield. With his two 20-rebound game this season, Jones joins a select group of prolific rebounders who have pulled down multiple 20-rebound games. Those names include Lacey (11 times), Billy Joe Price (three times) and George Knighton (two times). The 20 rebounds is just the 17th time this season a Division I player has hauled in 20-plus rebounds in a single-game. It is also tied for the fifth-most rebounds in single-game this season. Of those players with 20-plus rebounds this season, Jones is the only player to do it twice this season. STREAKING NM State has only had a winning-streak of 8 or better seven times in the last 20 season dating back to the campaign. Of those six winning-streaks, six were snapped on the road. There have only been 15 win-streaks of 10 or more dating back to the season while five occurring in the past 20 seasons. Chris Jans joins former Aggie head coaches Paul Weir ( ) and Arthur Bergman ( ) as the first-year head coaches to have an eight-game winningstreak in their first year the helm in Las Cruces. Reggie Theus is next on that list, having won 13-straight games his second year at the helm.

8 REBOUNDING VACUUM Senior Jemerrio Jones has been a nightmare for opposing coaches since he stepped foot on the court in The 6-5 forward is averaging 12.0 rebounds heading into this week s game and has already hauled in 564 boards since joining the Aggies in 2016 with seven regular-season games remaining and could have as much as 11 games left to play should NM State run the table at the conference tournament and compete in the NCAA Tournament. If you count his JC numbers, he s totaled 1,163 career rebounds to date that s with him getting injured his sophomore year at Hill JC after 13 games. He s pulled down double-digit rebounds in 17-of-23 games this year on top of his 14 double-doubles and historic triple-double. Jones is in the top-10 in virtually every rebounding category in the nation despite being undersized compared to the rest of the nation s top rebounders. His triple-double against Eastern New Mexico is just one of 19 to occur this season to date and became just the fourth Aggie to do so. A LEAGUE OF THEIR OWN New Mexico State is just 1-of-8 schools in the west to have won at least 20 games in each of the last five seasons. The other seven? Arizona, BYU, Gonzaga, Oregon, Saint Mary s and UC Irvine. Gonzaga 157 Arizona 149 Oregon 138 Saint Mary s 129 San Diego State 128 New Mexico State 124 BYU 120 Meanwhile, NM State is also sixth amongst western schools with 100-plus wins from through the campaign. JANUARY JUBLIEE With its win this past Tuesday (Jan. 30) against Northern New Mexico, the Aggies finished the month of January a perfect 7-0. The last time NM State went undefeated in the month of January was last season. NM State s team last year went 28-6 before falling in the first-round of the NCAA Tournament to No. 12/11 Baylor, As a program, New Mexico State has now gone undefeated in the month of January 11 times. However, is just the fourth time since Presley Askew s squad achieved the feat.

The Memphis, Tenn., native is the first Aggie to pull down 500 boards since Pascal Siakam recorded 658 rebounds in his two seasons in the Crimson & White.

Coach Henson last did it during the campaign when his squad defeated Texas Tech (Dec. 17, 1999) followed by a overtime victory against Washington (Dec. 30). A LONG WAY FROM HOME New Mexico State s 7-1 record during its 37 days between home games is the best amongst teams in that are have 30-plus days between home contests. The 7-1 mark is also best compared to teams with 30-plus days between games the last three seasons. Jacksonville State (7-4) and Texas Southern (7-9) are the only two teams during the three-year span to win seven games with both doing so during the campaign. YOU RAISE ME UP Prior to the Feb. 10 game at home, New Mexico State raised four new banners in the Pan American Center as part of its yearly upgrade of the championship banners. The and the banners were recognized Saturday with both teams having earned a share of the Border Conference Championship for that decade. In addition to their championship banners, both teams also had flags to recognize them making the NCAA Tournament. The team led by George McCarty finished overall and 14-4 in league play while becoming the first Aggie team to play in the NCAA Tournament. It is also the only team in school history to play in both the NAIB (now NAIA) and NCAA Tournament. The squad led by Presley Askew was overall and 7-3 in Border Conference play and was just the second Aggie team to make the NCAA Tournament. HOW SWEEP IT IS With the win on Saturday, Dec. 9, head coach Chris Jans became the only first-year head coach in New Mexico State basketball history to sweep both New Mexico and UTEP.

That assist made Jones just the fourth Aggie in program history to record a triple double finishing with 10 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists. The last Aggie to record a triple-double was All-American Daniel Mullings. The 2014 WAC Player of the Year recorded his triple-double on Feb. 23, 2012, against Hawaii with 28 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists. In addition, Jones became the 16th player in WAC history to accomplish the feat and one of eight players this year in Division I to record a triple-double when he accomplished the feat.

16 New Mexico State Director of Athletics Mario Moccia handed the reigns to the coveted Aggie men s basketball program to Chris Jans on Monday, April 17, naming the Fairbank, Iowa, native the 26th head men s basketball coach at NM State. Chris Jans EXPERIENCE NM State Experience 1st Season NM State Record 28-5 NM State WAC Record 12-2 Collegiate Experience (2nd as HC) 26 Seasons Collegiate Record Alma Mater Loras College 91 The 25-year veteran took the helm of an Aggie team that won a program record 28 games and won 28 games himself in his first year. Since his arrival, New Mexico State has beaten its first AP top-10 opponent in 17 season as well as take down a pair of Power 5 teams in Illinois and then #6/7 Miami. His tenure started off with a bang, sweeping both UNM and UTEP before winning 11-straight. Jans was named the WAC Coach the Year after leading the Aggies to a 12-2 conference finish to claim the regular-season title and added a WAC Tournament title to his name when the Aggies defeated Grand Canyon Under his direction, Jemerrio Jones was named the WAC Player of Year while Zach Lofton was named First-Team All-WAC. Jones was also named to the all-defensive team while AJ Harris joined Lofton on the all-newcomer list. In addition, Jones and Lofton were named to the U.S. Basketball Writers Association s All-District VIII team. He recently began his second-stint at Wichita State prior to the start of the season under head coach Greg Marshall. At the conclusion of this past season, Jans was elevated to associate head coach before taking the NM State head coaching job. Prior to returning to WSU, Jans coordinated one of the nation s best turnarounds in in his first year as the head coach at Bowling Green. In just one season, he took a BGSU team that lost 20 games in and guided it to a record-setting overall mark in which was the most wins in a single-season for Bowling Green since (24). With the 21 wins, Jans became the first head coach in Falcons history to lead the team to 20 wins or more in his first year at the helm. His record-setting 21 wins eclipsed the 18 wins set previously by hall of famers Harold Anderson and Bill Fitch. The campaign also saw Jans lead BGSU to its first national postseason tournament victory since 1975 when the Falcons defeated Saint Francis (Pa.) in the 2015 Collegeinsider.com Tournament (CIT). In that same year, Bowling Green finished Mid-American Conference play 11-7 which was the most wins in MAC play for BGSU since going 11-5 during the season. In addition, the Falcons also reeled off 11 road victories for the first time since the season. With the historic year for Falcon men s basketball, Jans was chosen by his peers as the National Association of Basketball Coaches top first-year head coach with the 2015 Joe B. Hall National Coach of the Year award. Before taking the helm at BGSU, Jans spent seven years alongside Marshall at Wichita State ( ). He was a member of the inaugural staff with Marshall at WSU and turned the program around to become the staple of the NCAA Tournament it is now. After just one season, the Shockers earned a CBI bid in 2009 followed by an NIT bid at home in 2010 with the help of future NBA guard Toure Murry and center Garrett Stutz. The Shockers began to break through in the campaign when they recorded 24 wins and a runner-up finish in conference play. Despite missing the Big Dance, WSU gave Shocker fans some hope when it reeled off five-consecutive wins and won the program s first NIT Championship. Wichita State claimed the Missouri Valley Conference title the following year and made its first appearance in the NCAA Tournament since 2006 as the No. 5 seed before falling to the 12th-seeded Cinderella VCU Rams. Jans was instrumental in landing Ron Baker, a future All-American and NBA player, who helped guide WSU to its deep run in the NCAA Tournament in The Shockers broke a lot of brackets that season, taking down Pittsburgh and the overall No. 1 seed Gonzaga to reach the Sweet 16 before taking down a hot La Salle and Ohio State team to earn Wichita State its first Final Four appearance since In the final season of his first stint with the Shockers, Jans helped Wichita State set an NCAA record with a 35-0 start to the season. During that stretch, WSU ran the gamut in the Valley and became the first program to go undefeated in nearly 30 years. That season also saw Fred VanVleet, Cleanthony Early and Baker earn first-team all-conference selections while Early and VanVleet notched All-America honors on top of VanVleet adding MVC Player of the Year to his mantle of awards. He began his coaching career as an assistant coach at NCAA Division III Elmhurst College in 1992 before taking a similar role at NAIA Grande View College in Jans earned his first head coaching opportunity when he took over at NJCAA Division II Kirkwood Community College in NM State Men s Basketball Game Notes

17 Jans was named the Region XI Coach of the Year after guiding the Eagles to a season, which included a conference title and the program s first-ever national tournament appearance. He followed up his rookie season with a 31-6 campaign highlighted by Kirkwood capturing the NJCAA Division II National Championship and Jans being named the National Coach of the Year. Sandwiched in between his time at Independence Community College ( ) and Howard College ( ), Jans got his first taste of the Division I level as an assistant coach at Idaho ( ) under David Farrar. After Howard, he took over at Chipola Junior College and joined forces with Greg Heiar who played for Jans in his rookie season as a head coach at Kirkwood CC and was a fellow assistant coach at WSU. Success continued to follow Jans as he led Chipola JC to its first conference title in a decade while finishing sixth at the NJCAA Division I National Tournament and finished 32-5 overall. Jans then made his second appearance at the Division I level, this time as an assistant coach at Illinois State ( ) on Porter Moser s staff before joining Marshall at Wichita State. Jans was a three-year starter at Loras College ( ) and was named a captain as a senior. During his time in Dubuque, Iowa, he helped the Duhawks break 16 scoring records and two NCAA Division III records for three-point shooting. A graduate of Loras College in 1991, Jans earned his bachelor degrees in marketing and finance. He and his wife Sheri have two kids, Nick and Maddie Gazda.
