STATS (two games): 23 ppg, 58% on 3s, 4.5 rpg, & 55% shooting on FGs.

INSIGHT: UNM freshman Jake Hall inches closer every to the all-time record of 3s made by a UNM freshman. The record is held by Kendall Williams who hit 55 in 2011 (35 games), and Hall now has 48 (17 games). Besides being on the doorstep of school record, Hall has been on a heater recently, and was paramount in a few blow outs wins.
