Men's Basketball: Short-handed Lobo squad puts win streak on the line at Utah State

A short-handed University of New Mexico men's basketball will hit the road to take on Utah State, hoping to extend its current three-game winning steak.

But it could be a big challenge for New Mexico (11-11, 6-3 MW), which will be without the services of Sam Logwood, Antino Jackson, Vladimir Pinchuk and Jachai Simmons.

Jackson's absence came as a surprise to many, as a tweet from the senior transfer made the announcement that he would not play in Wednesday night's matchup against Utah State.

Geoff Grammar of the Albuquerque Journal referred to the situation as "an in-house issue", which means the impact felt by Jackson and the team could be limited to just the one game.
