The UNM women’s basketball team’s stroke was off against Air Force, but it threw up enough shots that it didn’t make the least bit of difference. UNM pasted the Falcons, 3-14 overall and 0-4 in the Mountain West Conference, by 62-42, at The Pit on Wednesday.

Era of Iverson, McGrady obsolete in modern NBA

Superstars’ demand for the ball render them unimportant, making a rough transition into post-prime abyss If you’ve been paying attention to NBA All-Star voting, you might have noticed a bizarre trend. Alongside mainstays like LeBron James and Kobe Bryant, two legends on the outs are getting quite a bit of electoral attention from basketball fans.

The Falcons are a making in Mountain West Conference tragicomedy. So the plot goes — tragically, they are among the conference’s most inspired inhabitants, playing with an outpouring of gnash, said Lobo coach Don Flanagan, not seen in more talented, less hard-working teams.

Hardeman braces for Air Force onslaught

Making shots to win basketball games will take a backseat for the UNM men’s basketball team this time around. Lobo head coach Steve Alford wants his team to emphasize defense against Air Force (8-8 overall, 0-3 Mountain West Conference) and its Princeton offense Wednesday at Clune Arena in Colorado Springs, Colo. “We talk about defensive patience when you play a team like Air Force,” Alford said.
