The University of New Mexico men's basketball team picked up a huge road win in its last game, but must protect home court on Sunday against UNLV if it wants to keep pace in the Mountain West standings.
New Mexico (14-14, 9-6 MW) outlasted Wyoming and won a 119-114 shootout over the Cowboys to sweep the season series and break what was a four-team tie for fourth place.
The Cowboys continued to provide the Lobos with some assistance, downing Fresno State to snap the Bulldogs' five-game winning streak. That result means UNM could move into a tie for third place in the MW standings with Fresno State, with a big matchup between the two schools looming in the season finale.
