The Rams had their way against the Lobos, knocking off the second place team in an 86-69 beatdown in Fort Collins.
It was a classic trap game scenario.
As New Mexico had their sights set on their second-place clash with Fresno State on Saturday, the Lobos first had to travel to Fort Collins to square off with Colorado State. The Rams were a team struggling in their own right, coming off three consecutive losses and sitting at two games under the .500 mark in conference play. It should've been an easy night for the Lobos. "Should've been, could've been".
