The nation’s longest winning streak survived The Pit as San Diego State defeated the UNM men’s basketball team 87-77, its 19th consecutive win this season. The Lobos (13-5, 1-2 MWC) held a seven point lead early in the game but could not keep up when the No.
Another fire alarm delayed a home game at the $60 million University Arena, but Phillip McDonald was the only thing on fire at The Pit tonight. The Lobo junior came off the bench to lead the UNM men’s basketball team to a 68-61 win over Mountain West conference foe Colorado State University on Wednesday night. The Lobos (13-4, 1-1) faced criticism from head coach Steve Alford about lackadaisical play during their recent loss at Wyoming.
I was saddened to read the featured sports page article in the Albuquerque Journal covering the passing of Coach Hugh Hackett. Coach Hackett was a wonderful person who touched many lives around him, both in and out of sports.
Editor, The University administration has mastered the art of maximizing uncertainty. First the facts: On Dec.
Back in mid-December, after a blowout win at home against Longwood, head coach Steve Alford said, “We now go the better part of the month with the only class being basketball.” Now basketball school is over, and the UNM men’s basketball team passed.
It’s not exactly how the UNM men’s basketball team wanted to start conference season. The Lobos saw Wyoming’s Paco Cruz sink an eight-foot floater over Lobo big man Alex Kirk’s head, and the Cowboys pulled out an 67-66 win in Laramie, Wyo.
It was simple: Wyoming had a much better offensive performance than the UNM women’s basketball team at The Pit on Saturday. An early Lobo lead vaporized, and the Cowgirls outshot and outplayed the Lobos in a 63-53 win. “We had poor shooting,” head coach Don Flanagan said.
To quote one of my close friends, “It’s stupid.” That was his opinion of Andrew Luck forgoing $50 million in NFL money and staying for his junior season at Stanford. Agree to disagree. I love Luck’s move. In a statement released a couple of days after his season ended, Luck said, “I am committed to earning my degree and am on track to accomplish this at the completion of the spring quarter of 2012.” I don’t want to sound like a broken record, but with the state of college football — from the BCS being a disastrous system to the Cam Newton dilemma at Auburn to even Luck’s head coach Jim Harbaugh rushing toward the NFL — I was happy to see Luck stay at Stanford. I don’t want to make my case that Mr. Luck going back to school is good for college football. What’s good for college football is the game itself. I once wrote a piece before the 2009 World Series that the MLB needed the Philadelphia Phillies and New York Yankees to meet up in the Fall Classic.
2010 is the most sci-fi-sounding year yet. I mean, 2000 sounds pretty sci-fi, and 2001 is the best sci-fi movie with a year for a title, but 2010?
Someone once said to me, “Ask me what the first rule of comedy is.” I began, “What’s the first rule of —” “Timing,” he blurted out, right in my face.

While the recession has created a financial slippery slope, it has not deterred skiers and snowboarders from shelling out hundreds each season to indulge in their sports. Representatives from local skiing hotspots said the recession has made little difference in how well-attended their slopes are.
The LGBTQ Resource Center will host a flag-raising ceremony to replace the flag that disappeared after one of two vandalism incidents against the center last month. Program Assistant David Griffith said the ceremony would honor the center’s mission of providing services to people of all gender identities and sexual orientations. “We aren’t reading too much into the situation,” he said.

Cesar Dominguez-Garcia, the man suspected of firing a bullet into a sixth-floor ceiling of UNM Hospital pediatric unit during a family altercation, turned himself in Jan.
The President’s Special Advisory Team completed its Fiscal Year 12 budget recommendations. President Schmidly initially charged the PSAT last spring to identify about $3 million in cost containment or revenue generation for the FY 11 budget.
UNMH and parts of north and central campus were locked down Tuesday afternoon to safeguard against an active-shooter situation, according to a message sent out by the University.
