Clear MWC champ too close to call

TCU couldn’t — and didn’t — invoke whistle-blower status at The Pit on Saturday. It would be easy — and dull-witted — to attribute the UNM women’s basketball team’s 60-53 marquee victory over No.



	Rory Fraser hovers in second place, while a pack of runners vie for position during the 3,000-meter run. Fraser closed quickly in the last 60 meters of the race and won Saturday at the Albuquerque Convention Center.

Dashing fellows best their own times

Two time zones, two days and two athletes making statements. The UNM track and field team is a force to reckon with, especially runners Lee Emanuel and Rory Fraser, who broke UNM records over the weekend. Fraser’s altitude-adjusted time beat Emanuel’s old record in the 3,000-meter run. Emanuel, the reigning NCAA indoor mile champion, posted his second career sub-four minute while competing at the Indiana Relays Invitational on Friday.

Racing to the bottom and staying on top

Perhaps the UNM ski team should scrap collegiate competitions and just head straight for the Vancouver Olympics. Hyperbole aside, the UNM ski team is good — darn good. During the second week of competition, UNM jumped to the top spot in SkiRacing.com’s NCAA power rankings. Although the power rankings for college ski teams are new this year, it’s an amazing feat to accomplish, said UNM junior skier Martin Kaas. “It’s kind of cool to go out, get a good start right away and we will definitely try to (keep the No.


	A decorated fan rushes the court Thursday night. The Lobos snagged a narrow victory against No. 12 BYU, 76-72.

Point guard plays to win

Few players — with the exception of the Jordans and Bryants — have the resolve to will their teams to victory. Dairese Gary, on Wednesday at The Pit, fit into this conversation of elites. Thanks to more-than-stellar play from the Lobos’ point guard, the No.

UNM faces strongest opponent yet

Balanced — yes. Youthful. Sort of. Underrated? Maybe. Brigham Young University, No. 12 in the Associated Press college basketball poll, comes to Albuquerque on Wednesday for a battle royale with the No.

Runner thrives in teammate's absence

Rory Fraser didn’t seem to mind teammate Lee Emanuel’s noticeable absence in the mile run event on Saturday at the Albuquerque Convention Center. Fraser thrived in the mile, finishing in first with a time of 4:10.31 but came in 11th in the 800-meter run.

Tall ain't all

With the exception of your Luke Longleys, New Mexico has never been like New York — a skyline of imposing towers, unobstructed, panoramic viewpoints and heightened awareness. Our two tallest buildings are Bank of Albuquerque and the Hyatt.

Former Lobo killed in 3-way car crash

The UNM men’s soccer team was struck by tragic news at the end of last week. Former Lobo soccer player Benjamin Ashwill, 26, died in a three-way car crash Thursday near Santa Rosa, N.M. Ashwill, a graduate of Sandia High School, was a three-time all-state performer and helped the Matadors earn a No.

NFL all-star compilation, year's cream of the crop

Today I get a second opportunity to present my all-star NFL team, and hopefully it will be a hell of a lot better than last year’s. Last year, I selected a sampling of players from different teams and compiled my own team of top performers from the 2009 NFL season.

Coach cites lack of effort despite Air Force win

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. Allen Iverson and Tracy McGrady are once-in-a-lifetime talents — one an undersized offensive psychopath who never met a man he couldn’t score on, the other a stat-sheet stuffer who once put up 13 points in 35 seconds. There’s just one problem: A.I.



	Head coach Don Flanagan said the Lobos can’t take Air Force Academy lightly, even though he’s never lost to the Falcons during his tenure at UNM. The Lobos will look to move to 3-2 in the Mountain West Conference with a victory over AFA tonight.

Blowout not guaranteed come Air Force clash

Chris Rock once observed the agonizing drudgery of attending dinner as a single man with a married couple. Of it, he said, “Oh, it’s just disgusting!” That about sums up how today’s contest is bound to end up for the Air Force Academy’s women’s basketball team, when the Falcons travel to face the UNM women’s basketball team at The Pit. 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.
