Friends in times of peace, enemies in war

*Men’s basketball vs. Washington 2 p.m MT. on CBS* SAN JOSE, Calif. — It’s like one of those unfortunate war stories — two men obliged with the task of taking out their best friend, in the name of confounding patriotism. War has no sentimental boundaries.

All in jest

Today’s game will settle New Mexico and Montana’s war of words SAN JOSE, Calif. — The battle of the court jesters has already begun. Entertaining as New Mexico’s Darington Hobson and Montana’s Anthony Johnson have been on the hardwood, they made for better-than-advertised entertainment away from it at Wednesday’s media session at the HP Pavilion. NCAA March Madness maniacs can only hope the two will make for great television tonight, when the third-seeded Lobos battle No.

White-wash

LAS VEGAS, Nev. — Billy White’s performance in the first half of the Mountain West Conference semi-finals looks like his typical stat sheet. Ten points per game, five rebounds, a couple of assists and, if he was lucky, a 3-pointer. But on Friday, the Aztecs luminary forward had a performance like the bright lights on the Las Vegas Strip. Even better, White’s career-best basketball recital came while he was hobbled by injury. Against UNM in San Diego on Jan.

Farewell for now

LAS VEGAS — Take one: UNM point guard Dairese Gary takes the ball, drives the length of the court, nearly loses the ball inside the paint, regains control and misses a layup, banking it too hard off the glass.

Accustomed to victory

LAS VEGAS — Feb. 20 was supposed to serve as a memory — a day the UNM men’s basketball team could look back on late in the postseason to summon energy.

Lock smokers in the basement for public health

So let me explain what’s happening here: Chris, the dope who usually writes columns for Friday is probably too busy checking his Facebook while spraying himself with Axe during a “Family Guy” marathon, so I am filling in for him. My name is Brock Lightstone and when I am not at the gym running miles or sipping some 02 at the oxygen bar, I am campaigning against cigarettes.
