A battle for first place in the conference did not go too well for the Lobos, as they walked away with a 82-65 loss to the Nevada Wolf Pack on Saturday afternoon.
“I didn’t think we had the same edge that we have had previously on the road,” UNM head coach Craig Neal said in a release. “It was a big atmosphere today, but I still feel good about where we are.”
New Mexico had won three of its previous four road matchups, but thIS loss drops them to 13-9 overall, 6-4 Mountain West. Meanwhile, Nevada improved to 7-2 in conference to maintain control of first place in the Mountain West standings.
