For 31 minutes on Sunday evening in the Pit, defense was optional.
For the final nine, the Lobos could do no wrong on either end of the floor, closing on a 23-6 run to win the Lobo Classic title game 98-74 over Northern Colorado.
Having Morris Udeze record one of the Pit’s all-time single performances didn’t hurt the home team’s chances, either.
The 6-foot-8 graduate transfer forward from Wichita State scored 33 points to go along with 14 rebounds, 10 fouls drawn and was a perfect 13-of-13 at the free throw line, running away with Lobo Classic MVP honors for the three-day event.
