AIR FORCE ACADEMY, Colo. — It isn’t as though this is the first time it has happened.
As they did last year, the New Mexico Lobos followed a double-digit January win over Air Force in the Pit by collapsing down the stretch in Clune Arena with a frustrating come-from-ahead loss.
Air Force scored 32 points in the final 10:26 on Saturday, including one game-clinching scoring run of 12-0 to beat the Lobos 76-72 in front of an announced crowd of 3,327 in Clune Arena.
“I thought we played well until the 11-minute mark,” said UNM coach Craig Neal.
