Scores attributed to focus

The men’s basketball team opened its conference play last weekend by doing something it didn’t do in the previous three seasons—win. Senior forward Drew Gordon said the team made a point to get off to a winning start in conference.

Strong start ends in defeat

Not even the 7,400 fans at the Sanchez sellout game could help the women’s basketball team to victory. Junior guard Caroline Durbin was the only player in double digits.

Seasoned players set to take conference

Three isn’t a crowd, but it is a goal for the baseball team. The UNM baseball team has been to the NCAA tournament for the last two years, and this year senior pitcher Rudy Jaramillo said the team expects to make it to the tournament again.

Break ends in victory, disappointment

The men’s and women’s basketball teams’ fortunes clashed during the winter break. The men’s team won all six of the games it played during break. It is now 15-2 overall and is on a 13-game winning streak, the fourth longest in the country.

Defense guards winning streak

The first half of the men’s basketball game on Saturday against North Dakota should have been called the Kendall Williams show. Williams, a sophomore guard, had 15 points in the first half and a career high of 21 points for the game.

Women's basketball cold streak continues

The winter air blowing through The Pit couldn’t even explain the Lobos’ cold shooting on Thursday. UNM shot just 9-31 in the first half and was only 32.2 percent from the field for the game in its 54-61 loss to the University of Northern Colorado (UNC). “It was a disappointing game all around,” head coach Yvonne Sanchez said.

Shooters secure 16-point win

Like true wolves, the Lobos surrounded Missouri State early in the game on Saturday, and kept their prey down for a 76-60 victory.

Deficient offense salvaged by stout defense

Twenty years removed from its last meeting, the UNM basketball team and Idaho State played to the same result. The Lobos (5-2) defeated the Bengals (1-5) 65-41 Wednesday at the Pit behind a balanced offensive attack in which no UNM player scored in double figures.

Missed shots tank close game

The women’s basketball team couldn’t put a layup away soon enough to beat the Sooners. The team lost to No. 13 Oklahoma 58-56 after junior guard Caroline Durbin missed a potentially game-winning 3-pointer with three seconds left.

NMSU dominates the paint

Down 57-53 with 30 seconds remaining, Lobo guard Phillip McDonald rose up to take a three-pointer but was blocked in the process. That block was reflective of the entire night for the UNM basketball team.
