Ever since head coach Steve Alford took over the UNM men’s basketball team, the Lobos have made winning league awards seem like a given. On the backs of reliable point guard Dairese Gary, double-double machine Drew Gordon and lanky guard Kendall Williams, the Lobos notched their fourth straight 20-win season under Alford.
It didn’t take until the 11th hour for the UNM baseball team to get its first win of the season. The Lobos, finding momentum after an eight-game losing streak, took three games from the University of Texas-San Antonio in a four-game series over the weekend at Isotopes Park. Pitcher Bobby Mares threw seven scoreless innings to help the Lobos defeat the Roadrunners 8-3 Sunday. Head coach Ray Birmingham said he has been impressed with the way Mares performed in three season starts.
The Washington softball team showed exactly why it’s a national powerhouse. The undefeated, fifth-ranked Huskies swept the UNM softball team in a three-game series over the weekend at Lobo Field.
It was pretty much like any other game played at The Pit in the last four years. Like so many times before, it was point guard Dairese Gary’s pass-first mentality that led to the Lobos’ first points — this time in the UNM men’s basketball team’s 66-61 victory over Air Force.
It was a milestone and a memory-maker all wrapped up in one. The previously slumping UNM men’s basketball team gave its coach and senior leader a reason to celebrate after dispatching Air Force 66-61 Saturday at The Pit.
Long ago, the New York Knicks were an esteemed franchise. They hadn’t won an NBA title since 1973, but the Knicks nevertheless went to two championships during the 1990s.
How big was the UNM men’s basketball team’s win against No. 3 BYU? Try gigantic. UNM’s 82-64 victory Wednesday in Provo, Utah, dampened the Cougars’ now-slim chances for a No.
Just when you think the UNM men’s basketball team is left for the dead, it comes howling back. UNM shocked the basketball nation Wednesday with a 82-64 upset over No.
The UNM men’s basketball team is no longer desperate for a win, but it is dreaming for an upset victory at No.
The UNM women’s basketball team said goodbye to its two seniors — Amanda Best and Jessica Kielpinski — who played in their final home game Tuesday. Best scored 10 points and Kielpinski chipped in seven, but it wasn’t enough to beat league-leading Brigham Young.
Eventually the gloomy weather in Albuquerque cleared, but the day worsened for the UNM baseball team. Up 7-3 heading into the seventh inning of Sunday’s four-game series finale, UNM squandered the lead to Creighton and fell 8-7 in extra innings at Isotopes Park. Creighton second baseman Alex Staehely singled to score Nick Judkins for the go-ahead run in the top of the eleventh inning.
For the first 36 minutes of Saturday’s contest, the UNM women’s basketball team went toe-to-toe with league-leading TCU. But the Lobos were outscored 13-3 down the final 7:13 of the game to lose 84-71 at The Pit. “We played a good offensive game,” freshman forward Morgan Toben said.
Dairese Gary has saved his best for last. The UNM men’s basketball team senior guard scored 58 points in his last two games, a career-high 32 points coming in an 80-70 win at TCU that halted the Lobos’ four-game losing streak.
This time it’s the quarterback coach who has been sacked. UNM assistant coach David Reaves is accused of violating NCAA regulations while he was coaching at the University of Tennessee in 2009.
It could be worse for the UNM men’s basketball team. The Lobos, who have lost their last four Mountain West Conference games, head to Fort Worth, Texas, to face last-place TCU.
Point guard Dairese Gary sat alone on the floor and contemplated the future after his team’s demoralizing overtime loss on Wednesday.
Four and a half minutes into Saturday’s matchup with Utah, it was evident that UNM center Drew Gordon would have an impressive performance.
In their final battle as conference rivals, the Utah Utes hit the UNM men’s basketball team the hardest.
Ray Birmingham is back to his same old shenanigans. Looking to make it back-to-back NCAA tournament trips, the UNM baseball team opens the season at No.
Alex Allbritton is moving. But the UNM baseball team’s infielder isn’t going back to his hometown of Aurora, Colo.
