* NEW MEXICO STATE (8-5, 1-0) at UC IRVINE (5-6, 1-0), 7 p.m., KUCI-FM (88.9)--New Mexico State, which has won six of eight, has a strong inside game with Charles Gosa and Aaron Brodt, both 6 feet 9. It is difficult to double-team the Aggies inside as William Keys, Eric Channing and Brad Bestor are all deadly three-point shooters. Irvine’s Marek Ondera had 19 points and 12 rebounds in a 71-59 victory over North Texas on Thursday. But Irvine still thrives on a perimeter game, which feeds off point guard Jerry Green.
