The first day of the 2010 State Basketball Championships did not end well for metro area schools.

When a team has a surprisingly successful season, there usually aren't many surprises when it comes to postseason awards.

First, we've seen them play closer-than-expected games against mediocre (or worse) TCU, Colorado State and Air Force in recent weeks.

Sure Darington Hobson had better numbers than Roman Martinez's 19 points, five rebounds and two steals. But it was Martinez, as usual, who made the biggest plays in key moments.

It should be an emotional night for a lot of Lobos fans. In my limited amount of time covering UNM, I can't think of a more beloved athlete than Roman Martinez.

In the ESPN.com story Watson had a nice little anecdote about some t-shirts given to the Lobos after they beat then-No. 18 Texas A&M in Houston. Written across the chest: "They Know Now" Hmmm.

Here are the latest New Mexico High School Coaches Association basketball polls, for the classes relevant to the metro area.

Lobos win record 12th straight league game.

A look at tonight's game.

University of New Mexico senior center fielder Max Willett has been named the Mountain West Conference Player of the Week and junior transfer Mike Lachapelle has been named the MWC Pitcher of the Week as announced by the conference office today.
