In that contest in Durango, David Simental scored 42 points and hit six 3-pointers. Following that performance, he earned RMAC Offensive Player of the Week. 
 
LAST TIME OUT
 
After two weeks without any games, the Pack returned to action Feb. 2 at South Dakota School of Mines. In a game that saw 21 lead changes, the Hardrockers would hold the final advantage and post an 80-74 victory against the ThunderWolves. 
 
The Pack shot 45.3 percent from the field. South Dakota Mines (7-5, 7-5 RMAC) hit on 49.2 percent from the field, while knocking down a season-high 11 3-pointers (11-for-22, 50%). The rebounding margin went to the ThunderWolves 37-36, despite SD Mines entering the game with a +5 rebounding margin. The home team had 17 assists to CSU Pueblo's 11. 
 
Tre Brown led the team with 19 points, which included three from long range. He added five assists and four rebounds. 

 With 10:35 to go the ThunderWolves led 57-54 off a jumper from Eric Williams, but an 8-2 run by the home team gave the Hardrockers a 62-59 lead with 8:22 showing on the game clock. 
 
A pair of Simental three throws got the Pack within two at 66-64 with 5:51 remaining in regulation. 
 
Unfortunately, the ThunderWolves failed to score for five minutes of game time until a Simental layup with 40 seconds left. At that point the damage was done and South Dakota Mines led, 75-66. 
 
CSU Pueblo made a flurry of baskets in those final seconds, but the Hardrockers would win by six, 80-74.
