On a dark and stormy night on the Mesa, Viejas Arena shone brightly as a friendly beacon to Aztec faithful. Sadly, in this tale, the visiting New Mexico Lobos, brought their own kind of black magic and defeated the Aztecs 76-67 in a convincing performance. Fresh off a strong win against conference leader Nevada, the Aztecs were eight point favorites to take care of business. But this is the Mountain West where nothing is as it seems. The Lobos used several outstanding performances to capture their 16th win of the season. Look no further than guard Jaelen House who was a one man wrecking crew while accounting for 29 points.
