Men's basketball: Nicholls State game wasn't that bad after all, Neal says

Redshirt sophomore guard Cullen Neal drives past a Nicholls State player at WisePies Arena Nov. 25. The Lobos are scheduled to play Oral Roberts Dec. 1.

After looking at the game tape, New Mexico head coach Craig Neal pulled back a bit on his statements following last Wednesday’s win over Nicholls State.

After the Lobos won 75-63 – a game much closer than many thought it should have been – Neal said that his team lacked energy and that many guys haven’t really bought into the expectations he sets for the program.

On Tuesday, Neal said the game tape showed the team didn’t play that poorly.
