Three-game losing streaks. One was snapped on Saturday afternoon, but New Mexico now owns one after an 82-71 loss at Wyoming.
The win for the Cowboys (17-12, 7-9 Mountain West) put them back into the win column, while New Mexico (16-13, 9-8 MW) fell to 5-7 on the road.
"I thought we played really, really hard," UNM head coach Craig Neal said in a release. "We got it down to a one-possession game, but we made two bad mistakes on defense. Instead of keeping our poise, I thought we tried to come back down and hit home runs.
