University of New Mexico assistant basketball coach Terrence Rencher got into a verbal altercation with Colorado State forward Emmanuel Omogbo outside the Moby Arena following the Lobos’ 84-71 win over the Rams on Saturday.

Rencher was one of two New Mexico assistants ejected from Saturday’s game for leaving the bench when Lobos forward Joe Furstinger flexed after a hard screen and then made contact with Rams guard Anthony Bonner as he jogged back down the court.

North Carolina kept shifting in and out of small lineups, driving to the rim and heading to the boards on every shot. Being down a big man and facing a highly ranked opponent with more size didn’t deter the 11th-ranked Tar Heels, either. Joel Berry II scored 26 points and UNC snapped No. 9 Florida State’s school-record win streak with a 96-83 victory Saturday, playing with an aggressive edge they needed to hold off the Seminoles before finally pulling away late.
