Progress isn’t always a straight line.
For the UNM Lobos, any upward trajectory they were making early in the season certainly veered off course with a pair of losses in Las Vegas, Nevada, this past week — one a mostly competitive game against a very talented defensive team in UAB and the other a surprisingly offensive no-show against a Towson team the Lobos clearly weren’t prepared to play on Friday.
More troubling than the results in a season that is a rather large rebuilding project, has been the inability of several Lobo players to show they can handle in-game adversity when things aren’t going their way.
