There have been a lot of pats on the backs and “attaboys” thrown at the Lobo men’s basketball the past couple days.
UNM went on the road last week and not only hung tough with, but had a shot to upset two of the league’s title contenders in hostile road environments — a 6-point loss at Colorado State, which sits four spots outside being ranked in Monday’s new Associated Press Top 25, and a 2-point loss at Wyoming, which has yet to lose a league game and is also receiving Top 25 votes.
But UNM, the league leader in moral victories, is still looking for its first Mountain West Conference win, sitting at 0-6 in the standings and 7-12 overall.
