New Mexico will host Fresno State in the final Lobos men’s basketball home game of the season.
The bubble may have burst for UNM (20-9, 7-9 Mountain West) getting an at-large bid into the NCAA Tournament, but the team is still in a battle for seeding in the Mountain West Tournament. The Lobos are currently in sixth place in the conference, one game behind San Jose State, but the Lobos own the tiebreaker. The sought-after fifth position gives that team a first-round bye in the tournament.
If the Lobos lose tonight and Friday at Colorado State, the team could drop all the way to eighth in the conference.
