Senior Night is supposed to be a celebration. After a tumultuous season that saw the Lobos (17-13, 6-11) fall from a 15-3 record to losing 10 of 12, the night may be bittersweet at best. JaQuan Lyle and Corey Manigault, the only remaining seniors, have had respectable seasons, but it certainly hasn’t gone as expected.…… Continue Reading »
Two games separate the Lobos (17-12, 6-10) from the Mountain West conference tournament. There’s not much time to build momentum heading into it, but they could manage to put something together that no one expects. With games remaining against Air Force (10-18, 4-12) and Utah State (23-7, 12-5), it’s very likely that the Lobos will…… Continue Reading »
Losers of three-straight games, including home losses against Nevada and UNLV, the University of New Mexico Lobos looked to break their losing streak on the road against a Boise State team that they beat back in December to kick off Mountain West Conference play. The roster the Lobos brought out against the Broncos on Sunday…… Continue Reading »
With only three games left in the regular season, the Lobos (17-11, 6-9) may need some luck to finish out the season with a .500 record in conference play. Two of their final three opponents currently sit above them in the standings, including Sunday’s opponent, Boise State (18-10, 10-6). It doesn’t help that the Lobos…… Continue Reading »
It’s safe to say that Saturday night didn’t go as planned. Sure, the Lobos (17-10, 6-8) didn’t let Bryce Hamilton single-handedly defeat them. It was more like they beat themselves in the final minutes. The Lobos uncharacteristically missed six foul shots within the last five minutes of the game, letting the result slip away. The…… Continue Reading »
The Lobos and No. 4 Aztecs entered the halftime break last night separated by just two points after a hot start of shooting 45% from the field and 36% from behind the arc. As a team, the Lobos were hustling for rebounds and loose balls and played some of their best defense this season against…… Continue Reading »
On Tuesday night, the Lobos (17-8, 6-6) are hoping to get some revenge against the San Diego State Aztecs (24-0, 13-0). In what will easily be the toughest game of the season for New Mexico, who was blown out the first time the two teams met. The Aztecs opened the January 29thgame with a 17-0…… Continue Reading »
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 »
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. Without a doubt, the Lobos (16-6, 5-4) have been at their best at home this season. Going back to last season, the Lobos have won 15 consecutive games at home, but that…… Continue Reading »
A return to The Pit, and a change of pace, gave the Lobos (16-5, 5-3) exactly what they needed to break their two-game losing streak. It didn’t hurt that their opponent was San Jose State, either. With four starters out, it would have been easy to pick against the Lobos, especially since they lost to…… Continue Reading »
