For the Lobos to pull off an upset on the Mesa on Saturday night, it’ll likely have to be an inside job.
A general inability to find any offensive success inside the arc a season ago led to four UNM starters – yes, four starters – being held to 3 or fewer points when the Lobos lost by 25 points in San Diego last January. This go ‘round the Lobos (15-2, 2-2 Mountain West) may find their best opportunity to generate that offense now is by beating the No. 23 San Diego State Aztecs (13-3, 4-0) in the paint and at the rim.
