IT’S LIKELY asking too much, but something positive this city needs would be the UNM men’s basketball team approaching the 17-0 record posted by the 1967-68 Lobos. Picked for last place in a preseason WAC poll, the then No. 4 ranked Lobos lost a nail-biter in their bid to go 18-0 in Tucson to Arizona, 69-68. They would win their next 3 games to go 20-1 and avenged the Arizona loss with a 102-74 Pit pasting of the Wildcats while on their way to winning the WAC title. It was excitement at its best for Albuquerque and New Mexico.
Sports Speak Up! Fan hopes this Lobos team can get at least to 17-0
