Lobo fans remember the day well; January 7th, 2017. The New Mexico Lobos owned a 25-point lead with 10 minutes to play in The Pit. The Lobos collapsed over the next 10 minutes and dropped a heart breaker in overtime that night. Almost two years later and Lobo fans might finally start to forget that night.
Anthony Mathis dropped in 27 points on Saturday on 7-of-19 shooting from the field, including five three pointers, to propel the New Mexico Lobos to an 85-58 win over #6 Nevada on Saturday night in The Pit.
There would be no comeback this evening as UNM’s zone defense frustrated Nevada all night.
