The UNM men’s basketball team opened up Mountain West Conference play on Wednesday night on a good note.
The Lobos took down the Fresno State Bulldogs 78-73 increasing their undefeated home record to 7-0 at WisePies Arena aka the Pit. The victory marked New Mexico’s sixth consecutive in Mountain West openers and eighth straight when opening conference play at home.
Head Coach Craig Neal said he thought it was a good game for his players, who were bouncing back from a painful 31-point loss at No. 18 Arizona last week.
"It was a really good indication about the fight we have as a group and the effort they play with,” he said.
