The New Mexico Lobos split this past week’s games with Wyoming and San Jose State.
On Tuesday night, the Lobos were without star guard Jaelen House again, and it showed with an uninspired effort in a 70-56 loss to the visiting Cowboys.
Hunter Maldonado poured in 20 points for Wyoming in the upset win, which was the Cowboys’ first in Albuquerque since the 2015-16 season.
For the Lobos, the loss was their fourth straight, and put them firmly outside of everyone’s NCAA Tournament projections, despite being the last team in the Nation with an undefeated record.
