In the notorious pit that is 37 feet below street level is New Mexico’s University Arena where San Jose State (7-12, 0-7 MW) dug themselves into its own pit of despair in an 86-70 loss.
The Lobos (8-13, 1-7 MW) in a strong dominating performance notched their first Mountain West conference win. With strong guard play and five New Mexico players in double digit scoring, the Spartans never had a chance.
The contrast of guard play was one key striking difference. While Lobos Jamaal Mashburn Jr (23 points) and Jalen House Jr. (18 points) were electric, Spartan guard play overall was anemic.
