Udeze’s monster game, defense late lead Lobos to blowout win, 6-0 record

For 31 minutes on Sunday evening in the Pit, defense was optional.

For the final nine, the Lobos could do no wrong on either end of the floor, closing on a 23-6 run to win the Lobo Classic title game 98-74 over Northern Colorado.

Having Morris Udeze record one of the Pit’s all-time single performances didn’t hurt the home team’s chances, either.

The 6-foot-8 graduate transfer forward from Wichita State scored 33 points to go along with 14 rebounds, 10 fouls drawn and was a perfect 13-of-13 at the free throw line, running away with Lobo Classic MVP honors for the three-day event.
