SDSU maintains win streak against Lobos

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.

McDonald on fire in win over CSU

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.

Pupils of the court keep an eye on finals

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.

Cowboys shoot from the hip to end streak

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.

Wyoming shoots baskets, not blanks

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.

Stanford QB forgoes fame for brains

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.

Year in review Hindsight is 20/10

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?

Skiers scrape savings to stay on the slopes

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.

Schmidly recovers, returns as UNM president

UNM President David Schmidly is back at his post after almost six months of absence spent recovering from operations on an abdominal tumor. On Monday, doctors cleared President Schmidly to return to his duties at the University, and Schmidly said it’s good to be back. “My doctors cleared me to return to work…which has been my wish for the New Year,” he said in a University-wide e-mail.
