New Mexico scored a huge win over Boise State in January when Lobo big man Morris Udeze hit a layup late in overtime to give his team an 81-79 home win over the Broncos.
But since that time, the teams have trended in opposite directions.
The Broncos (21-6, 11-3 Mountain West) have gone 6-1 and largely maintained a position on the right side of the NCAA Tournament bubble.
Meanwhile, UNM (20-7, 7-7) is 2-5 since that win and is smack dab on the bubble of at-large NCAA Tournament teams.
The teams rematch tonight in Boise.
