The talk around the Lobo basketball team since Mountain West play began, and for good reason, has centered around the center spot.
But in terms of coaching decisions at the center spot, there isn’t much to dwell on.
There aren’t exactly options there after UNM’s top two centers on the depth chart entering the season have both left the program and a third who was moved there broke his leg and is out for the season.
First-year Lobos coach Richard Pitino, whether he wants to or not, is pretty much down to riding it out with 7-foot freshman Sebastian Forsling, who likely would have redshirted this season had depth not vanished before the team’s eyes, and forcing position changes for forwards Jay Allen-Tovar (6-9) and Birima Seck (6-11) to try and eat minutes at center.
