The New Mexico Lobos men’s basketball team fell twice this week.
First, the Lobos held a halftime lead over the Utah State Aggies last Saturday at The Pit, only to see it evaporate in the second half.
Trailing 76-73 late in that contest, the Lobos got a three-point basket from guard KJ Jenkins to force overtime.
In overtime, Jaelen House made a jumper with two minutes to go that tied the game 84-84. However, the Lobos would go scoreless over the next 1:52 of game time. That allowed Utah State to pull away just enough for the 90-87 win.
