ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Everybody has a nose, and everybody seemingly has an opinion on what’s wrong with Lobo men’s basketball. Of course, not everybody has this particular conduit to voice an opinion, unless it’s a 100-word Speak Up!
So here goes.
This crisis didn’t begin in Hawaii. It began when the Lobos squandered a 17-point lead and lost to visiting Rice. Yeah, Tim Williams calling the time-out when none remained sealed the deal, But UNM might have lost in an overtime anyway.
As it was, Lobo players facilitated the collapse when they decided that just making the winning play suddenly wasn’t good enough.
