Earlier this season, NMSU lost its 2017-18 opener to Western Michigan before claiming its first win against UT Permian Basin.

After the streak, NMSU downed UTEP and Pepperdine and lost to Arizona. The Aggies then split a pair of games at the Long Beach Classic as they beat Long Beach State and fell to Northeastern. NMSU closed out non-conference play with a win over Western New Mexico and a loss to UC Santa Barbara.

New Mexico State earned the No. 1 seed for the WAC Tournament, where the Aggies defeated #5 UMKC (71-63) and Seattle (63-48) to earn a bid to the NCAA Tournament.
