New Mexico basketball took care of business on Wednesday to get back in the win column and has a chance to notch its first victory outside of Dreamstyle Arena on Saturday against UTEP.
The Lobos (3-4, 0-0 MW) handled Evansville in their most recent matchup, a 78-59 triumph over the Purple Aces. But UNM has struggled outside the comforts of home, posting an 0-3 record so far this season.
UTEP has problems of its own. The Miners won their season opener by 50 points—pounding Louisiana College 100-50 at the Don Haskins Center, but have lost six straight games since then.
