The University of New Mexico men’s basketball team is on an upward path, after defeating Wyoming at home on Wednesday, 75-66, to mark the team’s second straight win—both of which were conference matches.
UNM (8-10, 3-2 MW) was led by senior guard Antino Jackson’s season-high 20 points, and senior forward Joe Furstinger’s 17 points and 10 rebounds. It marked Furstinger’s fifth double-double this season.
“I honestly really praise Coach on my second-half efforts,” Jackson said in a press conference after the game. “He really got me going and I was able to help my team. My team was telling me that they need me a lot, and I'm the point guard now, so I have to be there for the guys.
