NCAA Tournament Scores, Indiana Vs. New Mexico State: Hoosiers Hold 7-Point Halftime Lead

It hasn't exactly been smooth sailing for the South region's No. 4 seed, the Indiana Hoosiers, in their second-round game against the 13th-seeded New Mexico St. Aggies. The Hoosiers lead by just seven points after an uneven performance, and the Aggies have shown the tenacity and toughness required of any team hoping to spring an upset.

Christian Watford leads all scorers with 10 points and freshman Cody Zeller has seven of his own to lead the Hoosiers. Though both teams have relatively low scores, they're also shooting very well. The Hoosiers and Aggies are both shooting over 50 percent from the field thus far.

Seven points is by no means an insurmountable deficit, and if Aggies' big man Hamidu Rahman can continue to muscle Zeller away from the hoop, they might have a chance to pull off the upset.
