Not much has gone right for the Lobos (16-7, 5-5) over the past month and a half. Sure, they extended a home unbeaten streak to 15 games, but on the road, it fell apart, at least on the court. Off the court, the issues have piled up, and the team was hit with another this…… Continue Reading »

UNM Basketball: Lobos put home winning streak on the line against No. 4 San Diego State
Something is going to give when the unstoppable force known as San Diego State (21-0, 10-0) meets the immovable object of The Pit.

UNM Basketball: Lobos face Alford, Neal for first time in Reno

UNM Basketball: Lobos try to bounce back against Fresno State
Sometimes things happen in sports that defy explanation. Sometimes, the other team wants it more. Most times, though, it comes down to being outplayed. It’s hard to say which of these things was the deciding factor in the Lobo (13-3, 2-1) loss to San José State last week. After surrendering a 14 point lead, the…… Continue Reading »
UNM Basketball: Lobos resume conference schedule against struggling San José State
It’s official. The book can now be closed on 2019. No more non-conference games, no more so-called ‘powder puff’ opponents. Mountain West play is all that remains. With two games already played within the conference, for most schools, the early indications are that there will be some ‘haves’ and ‘have-nots’ this season. One of the…… Continue Reading »
UNM Basketball: Lobos try for six in a row as they host Grand Canyon

It’s early in the season, but the Lobos (8-2, 1-0) and the Wyoming Cowboys (3-6, 0-1) already appear to be on different trajectories.
