Another second-half lead slipped away from the UNM men’s basketball team, costing the Lobos victory again at WisePies Arena on Tuesday night.
Although New Mexico (9-8, 2-3 MW) was the favorite to win, UNM wasn’t able to close things out and deliver, and instead was dealt a 71-66 loss to the UNLV Rebels (9-9, 2-3 MW).
The 2017 year looked promising for the Lobos, who pulled off a 68-62 road upset over San Diego State on Jan 1. But they haven’t won a game since and are mired in a three-game losing streak.
In the previous game, the team blew a 25-point lead in the span of 11 minutes in a 105-104 overtime loss to Nevada.
