Men’s Basketball: Lobos’ finish could provide boost for future

The UNM Lobos on Saturday locked themselves into the 8-9 game of next week’s Mountain West tournament.

The higher seeded team in the tournament wears the home white jerseys while the lower seeded team dons the darker-colored road jerseys.

But for Richard Pitino, there’s clearly much more left to determine over this final week of the regular season than laundry.

Finding the secret antidote to every college coach’s poison this season — the wildly up-and-down play from game to game of teams all across college basketball — is still the goal for the Lobos as they face Fresno State on Monday night in California before concluding the regular season at home Saturday with UNLV.
