Men’s Basketball: When UNM duo is on, Lobos tough to beat

Jamal Mashburn got ‘em early.

Jaelen House finished ‘em off.

When the UNM Lobos’ 1-2 punch of Jamal Mashburn Jr. and Jaelen House are on their game, coaches around the league know their teams will have their work cut out for them.

“Obviously they’re 1 and 2 on the scouting report, or 1 and 1-A, however you want to do it,” UNLV coach Kevin Kruger said Saturday night, after his team fell to the Lobos 76-67 in the Pit after having beaten the Lobos by 29 points earlier this season.

Mashburn scored UNM’s first 10 points on Saturday night and 12 of his 21 in the first half.
