This is the first meeting between the teams in Las Cruces, N.M., since Jan. 22, 1996, when then-coach Seth Greenberg, who is Jewish, was apparently the target of an anonymous anti-Semitic epithet scrawled on the grease board in the visitors’ locker room at the Pan American Center, the Aggies’ arena. Also, several alleged incidents of racism purportedly were directed at Long Beach State’s African American players. Long Beach State is 1-7 on the road and hasn’t defeated New Mexico State at Las Cruces since February 1988. Long Beach guard James Cotton is the Big West’s leading scorer, averaging 22.9 points.
