ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Maybe it wasn’t a sign of bigger things to come.
Maybe all Wednesday night was for the New Mexico Lobos was a shocking 80-78 comeback victory against an experienced defending Mountain West Conference co-champion Boise State Broncos team that couldn’t figure out how to close a game.
Maybe it was lucky.
Regardless of what the rest of this season brings, Wednesday’s historic 19-2 scoring run to end the game – no Lobos team had ever won a game when down by 15 points in the final six minutes – will go down in Lobo lore as one of the most improbable wins, both in terms of how it happened and who made it happen.
