The Lobos over the weekend didn’t flinch.
They lost — 87-76 at Pac-12 Colorado in Boulder to drop to 1-1 on the season — but they certainly didn’t back down from a team that was favored by 15 points playing in front of an announced CU Events Center crowd of 7,115.
And while the two names on the roster who have been given the lion’s share of attention since joining the Lobos in the offseason — Arizona State transfer Jaelen House and Minnesota transfer Jamal Mashburn — certainly did their part in the upset bid, scoring 22 and 20 points, respectively, it was another power-conference transfer who stepped up early and often.
