The Lobos will host Utah State on Thursday (6:30 p.m.) and Boise State on Saturday (1 p.m.) knowing that a pair of wins secures them a spot in next week’s Mountain West tournament in Fort Collins, Colorado. UNM (16-10, 7-9 MWC) comes in tied with Nevada for fifth place in the league standings. The top six finishers advance to the Mountain West tournament.

Neither the Lobos nor the Wolf Pack have clinched tournament berths as Boise State and San Diego State are just one game behind heading into the final weekend.
