Cameron Bairstow scored 17 points to lead No. 20 New Mexico to a 64-58 victory over No. 8 San Diego State in the Mountain West Conference championship game Saturday, giving the Lobos the automatic berth into the NCAA tournament. Trailing by one with a little more than one minute left in the game, Bairstow - selected the tournament MVP - scored five of the Lobos' last eight points to help the Lobos win their third consecutive tournament title. It didn't come easy against the conference's No. 1 defense, as New Mexico (27-6) had its five-point halftime lead disappear when the Aztecs opened the second half on an 8-0 run, to take a 30-27 lead. After the Lobos tied at it 30 apiece, the teams exchanged baskets over the next five minutes, until Hugh Greenwood sparked a 12-5 run by scoring seven of the Lobos' points midway through the second half.
