These are my all time favorite Lobo Uniforms. Not only the Turquoise but the Cherry and White trim with the vertical "Lobos" and tracks down the right side. The shorts had a Zia Symbol with a Lobo through it they looked awesome!

I go back to the importance of seeding. The MWC was given three ten seeds and an 11 seed including two in the First Four. Those teams went 1 and 4. The two teams that were given single digit seeds are still alive. IMO the committee doing such a bad job cost the MWC several wins.
The announcer just said that Toppin is the top Freshman in the country in rebounds, blocked shots, shooting percentage, and double doubles. Yet he's the Co MWC Freshman of the year. Right!!

A game against a middle of the road UNLV team sold out days in advance and bigger arch rivals like Nevada, Utah State, and Boise not tells you all that you need to know. The casual fan will come out if the start time is early enough no matter who the opponent is.
#GoLobos
The Lobos aren't in a bad position actually. Six seeds beat 11's all of the time and if you win you get a 3 seed in the second round which is better than if we got an 8 or 9 seed. Maybe most importantly of all we don't play until Friday so that's time to get rest.
#GoLobos
The atmosphere in the Pit has been amazing recently but it will never top this. We had 19,452 jammed into the building for this game against a great UNLV team. The students used to fill the West side all the way to the floor and the building felt like it was levitating.

FYI All 4 UNM Games from the MWC Tourney are on this channel in full and without interruptions. The Championship game has all the Postgame ceremonies that were left off the live broadcast. Cast it to your TV and watch in full size!

UNLV'S win at Princeton in a true NIT road game was impressive. It was Princeton's first home loss of the season and UNLV was short handed. Princeton was coming off a sweet 16 with everyone back and were 24 and 4 going into the game.

The fact that the Lobos are opening as a 2.5 favorite over a six seed kind of tells you how under seeded they are doesn't it? Let's go in there and win some games Lobos!

This guy is a moron. How in the hell is a team that won 4 games in 72 hours three of them against Quad 1 opponents a "bid stealer"? If ever there was a team that earned something it's this Lobo team. Go F*** yourself Jack***! Oh and it's New Mexico not "Mexico".

The Lobos are in the NCAA Tournament for the first time in ten years!!! Let's still not assume anything though and just win the MWC Tournament.

If Boise State has to play in the First Four that tells me that the Lobos might have been left out in the cold without a win on Friday maybe even without a win last night. Ridiculous lack of respect for the MWC but very predictable.

I'm a Lobo fan but if Danny Sprinkle doesn't get the National Coach of the year (if things continue as they are) then the award has no credibility. A brand new coaching staff with zero % of last season's scoring returning and picked 9th in the MWC? Wow!

The Lobos peaked in January, fell down to their lowest point in February, and are peaking again when it really counts. What a rollercoaster of a ride this season has been I'm dizzy!

Yessssssss baby!!!!! On the MWC CHAMPIONSHIP. ALL 3 games we won by 10+ points. This is EXACTLY THE TEAM WE witnessed in January. LFG!!!!!! GO LOBOS!!!!!
Listen to this guy! The P6 has been touting their big in conference wins as reason for them to be in the NCAA Tourney for decades! But when a mid major like the MWC does the same thing it's somehow different? Stop moving the goalposts!

The last that I heard Javonte was still in the transfer portal as there are still almost six months left for players to get an offer. Where did you hear that he ended up?
Two huge three pointers by Mashburn to win the game. Back to the point of using your bench because Mashburn got some minutes to rest on the bench he had the legs to hit those two huge threes instead of being off the front of the rim.
#GoLobos
SDSU at Utah State tonight. From the point of a UNM fan I think that we need a Utah State win. SDSU still has UNLV away and Boise at home but they own UNLV and nobody is beating them at home. UNM goes to Utah State later and a win there gives them the tiebreaker.
#MWC
#GoLobos
Then they started playing the in conference games that according to the committee aren't supposed to count as good Quad 1 wins.... unless you play in the SEC, ACC, BIG, and Big 12 then they do count as good Quad 1 wins.
“This is what CSU looked like when they ran out to a 13-1 record and destroyed Creighton…. “
Well, then what happened?
Oh they started playing Mountain West teams?
UNM was forcing turnovers and scoring off them but that stopped after the 1st Nevada game. Pitino was playing 10 and 11 players but once the conference season started that number reduced to seven. That worked just fine for January but since then we have run out of gas.
#GoLobos
Boise had the game. That crucial turnover when they were up four changed everything. Amazing that they still could have won the game without arguably their two best players having anywhere close to their normal game. Great season Broncos.

That's the updated roster. 13 scholarship players and 3 walk-ons with an average height of 6'6.25". That's a tall team with a lot of reach and a loaded Frontcourt. Let's tip off the season tonight!
#GoLobos
#MakeItHappen
The Lobos still have a good shot at a MWC Tournament bye. Nevada losing twice is the best shot since UNM has the tiebreaker. Nevada will be an underdog at Boise State tomorrow and play UNLV at home on Saturday. I think that's gonna happen now UNM must win their two.
#GoLobos
Can we please put it to rest that this year's Lobo team can't win away from home? The last I checked a 750 winning % (9 and 3) away from home isn't too bad.

It's stunning to me that a HUMONGOUS game against our "unpopular" Ex Coach and his current team that has beaten UNM like a drum recently hasn't been sold out for weeks. Come on Lobo fans wake up already!!

A big man who can run the floor and score in transition. He looks like he can handle the ball pretty decent too he should fit in perfectly with UNM's transition offense.

Skilled 6’9 Soph… saw limited minutes at Arizona. Appeared in 34 games in the last 2 seasons and scored a season-best 11 against Morgan State in the season opener. Will have a much bigger role for UNM.
Oh the irony! How many times have we heard Power5 teams bragging how great they were for playing in such tough leagues and having tough games every night? Hypocrital much?
#WarOnMidMajors
I love how St Mary's got a five seed when their OOC schedule was mostly MTN West teams. So they get respect for beating several MTN West teams out of conference, but those same MTN West teams got no respect for beating each other in conference?

UNM fans we have two huge MWC games tonight at 9 PM MST. Nevada at Boise State and SDSU at UNLV. We need Nevada or SDSU to lose in order to have a chance at a first round MWC Tourney bye. If they BOTH win tonight UNM will be eliminated from getting that bye end of story.

@LoboCoachPitino
Shout-out to you too coach! We know you have had some other opportunities, but you're wanted here and we love that you keep choosing to be a lobo!
It's so good to see the bench getting some actual minutes for a change. Ten scholarship players got over six minutes each and the other two scholarship players got three minutes. The Lobos legs should be okay tomorrow.
#GoLobos
#MakeItHappen
Now that we have had an hour to digest it where do you rate that game as far as the most disappointing REGULAR SEASON losses as UNM fans? 18.5 point favorite and a quad 4 loss that's a brutal blow to our NCAA hopes. I can't think of a worse regular season loss thoughts?

Former UNM Lobo
@jaelenhouse10
has another really solid game on Day 2 of the G League Elite Camp in Chicago.
His stats, in a loss:
• team-high 17 points
• 7-11 FG (3-4 FT)
• 3 ast
• 1 block
Losing JT hurts but we all knew that it could happen if not the portal then the NBA. The roster is still looking good with three scholarships left and 1800 available players in the portal. I think that we pick up two more and maybe give the third scholarship to Agbaosi.
#GoLobos
Nevada and UNLV were the two hottest teams in the MWC coming into the tournament and they're both out already. Oh and the top seed needed overtime to survive. What a crazy season!
@MountainWest
#MWCTournament
As has been posted by others, I can confirm via sources Richard Pitino is not in the mix at this point for the Louisville job and remains the coach of the UNM Lobos.
It would be ideal to have Richard Pitino to Coach the first half of the season and Steve Alford for the second half. Then Brian Dutcher for the postseason. 🙄🙄
From what I know the only frontcourt players that UNM has for next season are Nelly, Amzil, Milicevic and (probably) J.T. We didn't have any redshirt bigs last season did we? If not it seems obvious that UNM needs some bigs from the portal I sure hope they find some.
#GoLobos
There's a positive to yesterday's loss: We still make the NCAA's but drop to a 12 seed. Upset the 5 in the 1st round and get a 4 in the next round instead of the one that an 8 or 9 seed would have gotten us. Win that and it's off to UNM's 1st round of 16 in fifty years!
#GoLobos
Great job on the boards and JT the double double machine strikes again. We made our free throws as well. So good to see everyone get a chance to play!
#GoLobos
What does worry me is not can House step in and run the offense he will be 100% fine. I don't think we beat them with a 7 man rotation and we have only been playing 8 with Dent. The Lobos will need quality minutes from Webb or Mushila possibly a few from Applehans.
#GoLobos
Shoutout to Donovan, Q, Tru, Braden, Mustapha, Deraje, Nelly, and Shane for sticking with the Lobos. They all could have moved on but chose to continue to believe in what we are doing. Let’s celebrate those that stay. We have added great pieces too! The future is bright! 🐺
If Clemson and Purdue win it will mean that three different MWC teams were eliminated by Final Four participants. That makes you feel a little bit better no shame in that.

@coachmosser
A great win for Nevada and a devastating loss for UNLV the inconsistency showed up at the worst possible time. UNLV can beat anyone or lose to everyone your guess is as good as mine as far as which UNLV team will show up.
This time last season House was hurt and Dent was starting at the point for UNM and fans were so worried. Now a year later it's the opposite and we're wondering how it will work out with House running the point for Dent. How things change!!

#BeatTheAztecs
I was just looking at the second half of UNM's MWC schedule and it's brutal! Not only do they have road games at Utah St., SDSU, Boise, Nevada, and Wyo but they only have Fresno and San Jose once each this season. The bright side is there's plenty of chances for Q1 wins!
#GoLobos
The big difference between this year's Lobo team and last seasons is on defense. Nelly and JT are quicker and longer than Udeze and Alleck inside. Not many bigs are going to catch those no look passes that AJ does from Dent as they have a chemistry that can't be taught.
#GoLobos
Look at the shooting % for House and Mash. I knew they were pretty low but didn't realize that they were both under 38% from the field for the entire season. I know the injuries had plenty to do with it but better shot selection and ball distribution is badly needed.
#GoLobos
I completely missed this at the game but the original poster is right. That official is even going into the technical foul signal and he just stopped mid-signal and kind of just waved play on.
#GoLobos
@GeoffGrammer
After the last AFA score, UNM was trying to inbound the ball and the AFA coach walked onto the court, did not have a player at the scorers table and managed to stop the inbound without a timeout, he should have been teed up for bench interference.
SDSU goes 0 and 5 on the road against the top 6. One more chance for a good road win at UNLV. UNM with their own regular season destiny in their hands but they might have to win out to do it.
#GoLobos
Speaking of the UNLV rivalry this is the Alb Journal box score of UNM's win at UNLV in 1978. I put this at or near the top of the biggest wins in UNM history as UNLV was undefeated, coming off a final 4, and had a 72 game home court winning streak.

#MakeItHappen
What height and length, I can't remember a Lobo team with this much overall length. If I calculated it correctly the average height on the team is 6'6.26". That's a long team and last seasons weakness will be a strength this season. Let's tip it off now!
