Just because the Lobos won three straight games to move into second place in the Mountain West doesn’t mean the learning has stopped for coach Craig Neal’s squad.
Saturday’s 88-83 victory over Boise State, which put the Lobos behind league leader San Diego State in the standings, was such a moment because, as Neal put it, it’s not really a learning experience until you do it. The team learned how to grab a big road victory against a top team, and Neal said it was big for his team.
“I think that's why they were so excited,” Neal said Monday.
