Scores 11 points Amzil (undisclosed) logged 11 points (4-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and one block across his 14 minutes during New Mexico's 78-65 win Wednesday against UC Irvine.
Impact For the first time since transferring to New Mexico, Amzil scored more than 10 points during a Lobos game. The senior finally showed some scoring prowess visible at times while he was enrolled at Dayton. Ideally for Amzil and New Mexico, his latest output is a better indication of what will happen when the Lobos engage in their new year.
