New Mexico’s next slate of games could have implications on the seeding process for the Mountain West in March.
A peek at the schedule shows two road games against the conference’s top two teams – Boise State and San Diego State – with a suddenly streaking UNLV squad sandwiched in between.
With the Lobos currently sitting in third in the standings, Saturday’s contest with the Broncos will be for possession second place. Each team has two conference losses; coincidentally, UNLV beat both earlier this season.
But Lobo coach Craig Neal said he’s not even thinking about seeding when he was asked whether these three games would make or break the tournament positioning.
