ALBUQUERQUE (AP) - Alex Kirk had 16 points and 13 rebounds and Cameron Bairstow added a career-high 16 points and No. 25 New Mexico beat Mercer 76-58 on Wednesday night.
It was Kirk's second straight double-double for the Lobos (7-0).
Travis Smith scored 16 points to lead the Bears (3-4).
Bairstow provided an early spark off the bench, scoring 10 points in his first 5 minutes of play with one block, one rebound and he also drew a charge on a Mercer fastbreak opportunity.
Most of Bairstow's damage came during a 17-2 New Mexico run as he combined with Tony Snell to score 14 of those points, putting the Lobos up 19-5.
Mercer was never able to get closer than eight points the rest of the way.
