A late charge wasn't quite enough for the University of New Mexico men's basketball team as it came up short on the road Wednesday night against Utah State.
The Lobos fell back under .500 for the season and snapped their three-game winning streak. The 89-80 loss dropped UNM to 11-12 overall and 6-4 in Mountain West play. While Utah State improved to 6-5 in conference and are now 13-11 on the season.
New Mexico was without the services of four players who collectively had accounted for nearly 39 percent of the team's offensive output. Despite missing some major contributors, UNM was able to battle back from double-digit deficits on multiple occasions to makes things interesting.
