Here are some extra notes, quotes, stats and whatever other odds & ends I could empty out of the old notebook after Monday’s 82-75 UNM Lobos win over Oral Roberts in the Pit:
Another monster game for Allick…
If you’re only looking at the scoring numbers, you might think of the UNM Lobos this season as a team with a Big 3 — Jamal Mashburn Jr. (17.9 ppg), Jaelen House (16.6 ppg) and Morris Udeze (16.0 ppg).
But if you aren’t looking at the stat-stuffing season Josiah Allick is having, not to mention leading the league in those hustle plays that don’t show up on a stat sheet like diving for loose balls, you’re missing out on one heck of an entertaining season from the 6-foot-8, 235-pound, long-haired Missouri-Kansas City transfer who showed up to Albuquerque over the summer with a full-length fur coat and who can fill a reporter’s tape recorder with ease after every game if you let him get going.
