The UNM Lobos havre returned to the land of the ranked.
After completing their nonconference schedule with a perfect 12-0 record — one of three Division I teams left in the country (out of 363) still without a loss — the Lobos checked in this week at No. 22 in Monday’s new Associated Press Top 25 poll, the program’s first AP Top 25 ranking since the final poll of the 2013-14 regular season, when the team was ranked No. 17. That was also the last time UNM made the NCAA Tournament.
The Lobos are tied at 22 this week with Xavier, also making their return to the Top 25 poll.
