Baseball: Lobos walk away with 4 wins at Lobo Field

For the second consecutive week, the New Mexico baseball team faced the possibility of not completing a game due to time constraints. Fortunately, that scenario did not come into play as the Lobos dominated Northern Colorado 8-1 to complete the four-game sweep of the Bears on Sunday at Lobo Field.

Men's Basketball: Lobos overturn 8-point deficit

Had No. 25 New Mexico lost to Utah State Tuesday night after being down by eight points, Saturday night’s win over Mountain West leading San Diego State likely would have been for naught. But the Lobos kicked it into another level in the final 10 minutes, rallying past the Aggies for a 67-58 win.

Women's Basketball: Wins are too few and too far

Late game loses have been a reoccurring nightmare for the New Mexico women’s basketball team this year. After a 65-67 loss to Utah State (12-15, 6-10 MW) on Wednesday night, the Lobos have now dropped nine of their last 10 games that have been decided by two possessions or less.

Baseball: Lobos shut out Missouri State, tie N. Illinois

Thanks to a complete game shutout by Preseason All American pitcher Josh Walker, UNM defeated Missouri State 7-0 in the first game of the double-header on Sunday at Lobo Field. Walker gave up just five hits and struck out three batters. The next game versus Northern Illinois ended in a 3-3 tie after 10 innings because the Huskies had to catch their flight home. It was the first tie for UNM since Feb. 22, 2004 against Northwestern.


	Senior forward Cameron Bairstow goes for a layup during the game against San Diego State at the Pit on Saturday. Bairstow scored 26 points, his 25th double-figure scoring game of the season, and the 16th time this season. His previous career-high before this season was 17 points and has moved up a spot into 27th place on the career scoring list with 1,077.

Column: Bairstow makes case for MW's top player award

For most of the season, the Mountain West Conference Player of the Year debate has been centered on two players: New Mexico forward Cameron Bairstow and San Diego State guard Xavier Thames. Neither one was able to take an edge in the argument until Saturday night when the Lobos dominated the No. 6 Aztecs 58-44 at The Pit. With the win, UNM (21-5 overall) and SDSU (23-3) are now tied atop the league standings with identical 12-2 Mountain West records.

Men's Basketball: Win over SDSU puts Lobos in tie for first

Over the last couple weeks, New Mexico men’s basketball coach Craig Neal said that some have not given his team enough credit about its win over Cincinnati, a foe receiving votes at the time but ranked seventh last week. A dominating win over the sixth-ranked team in the country should go a long way to rectify that.
