Steve Alford says it’s never fun to coach against Bob Knight. The last two meetings have been tougher on The General. Freshman Dairese Gary scored 18 points, shooting 7-of-11 from the floor and hitting all four of his 3-point tries, while J.R. Giddens and Chad Toppert each scored 13 points in New Mexico’s 80-63 victory over Texas Tech on Saturday.
