For the third year in a row, it was 1-and-done for the UNM men’s basketball team on its Mountain West Tournament journey.
The Lobos lost its quarterfinals matchup to the Fresno State Bulldogs 65-60 in Las Vegas, Nevada on Thursday, finishing their season with a 17-14 record.
The loss was a tough pill to swallow for Lobo fans, as it was New Mexico that held the lead for most of the game — nearly 30 minutes to be exact. Fresno State was in front for just over six minutes, but played its strongest basketball when it mattered most.
