 The most recent meeting in the series was an 84-71 Aggies victory at the Pan American Center in Las Cruces on December 10, 2016, the second of two meetings for the 2016–17 season.The December 19, 2007 contest was the 200th all-time meeting between the schools.The UNM–NMSU series is somewhat unusual among non-conference rivalries in that the schools traditionally play a two-game home-and-home series each season (another example of such a rivalry is the Nashville mid-major matchup between Belmont and Lipscomb).
