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 »
