Struggling Lobo men have rough road ahead on Front Range
The Lobos could use a breather.
It ain’t coming this week.
While the short-handed UNM men’s basketball team is already licking its wounds from its 0-4 start in Mountain West play – the second year in a row with that league record after never having started 0-4 in the league’s first 21 seasons – this week appears to be the toughest yet of the season.
Aside from the forecast of snow that awaits the Lobos (7-10, 0-4) for a pair of Front Range games this week at Colorado State in Fort Collins, Colorado, on Wednesday and at Wyoming in Laramie on Saturday, those are the Mountain West teams sitting atop the NCAA’s NET rankings. They boast a combined 26-3 overall record and are 5-1 in league games.
