Pest in the Pit: Here’s how Lobo House is even better defensively

Jaelen House obviously has the speed and skills to steal the show on offense at just about any point of a game.

But so far this season for the 8-0 New Mexico Lobos, in case you haven’t noticed, the 6-foot guard has actually started to scratch the surface of elite-level on-ball defensive ability.

As the Lobos prepare to host UT-San Antonio Saturday in the Pit, House ranks first in the Mountain West Conference and fourth in the nation in steals per game (3.0), and his steal rate of 6.4% ranks No. 5 in the country per KenPom.
