The new year started on Sunday, and the UNM men’s basketball team wasted no time getting new results.
New Mexico (9-5, 2-0 MW) hadn’t been successful in getting a win against San Diego State since March 15, 2014. But on Sunday afternoon, the team walked away with a 68-62 comeback victory.
The result snapped the Aztecs’ four-game winning streak and helped the Lobos jumped out to an early 2-0 mark in Mountain West Conference play.
The game was expected to be exciting, as the two teams were projected in the preseason to be at or near the top of the conference.
