We have made it to Saturday for the Championship game between the 6-seed New Mexico Lobos (25-9) and the 5-seed SDSU Aztecs (24-9). This is the first Title Game for the Lobos since 2018 when they lost to SDSU. Lobos will have a sick Donovan Dent who will try to give it a go, so Jaelen House and Jamal Mashburn Jr. will be expected to carry a heavy load today. Very simple for the Lobos, win and you take all questions away before the selection show.

Starters for today’s game:

SDSU: Darrion Trammell, Lamont Butler, Micah Parrish, Jay Pal, Jaedon LeDee.

Lobos: Donovan Dent, Jaelen House, Jamal Mashburn Jr., JT Toppin, Nelly Junior Joseph.

Officials for the game:

Michael Irving, Verne Harris, Greg Nixon with Standby being Gerry Pollard.

Game will be starting at 3:12 PT and 4:12 MT.

15:38 1H: Lobos 10 SDSU 7. Lobos have been able to get the shots that they want early. Need to limit the looks Trammell and Parrish get because they can get going. Looks like they are going to let them play inside.

11:49 1H: Lobos 16 SDSU 8. Mashburn Jr. with 8 early points for the Lobos, who look like the fresher team so far, even though they have only had Dent play about 3 minutes so far.

6:37 1H: Lobos 27 SDSU 18. Jaelen House is having fun!!!

3:49 1H: Lobos 32 SDSU 20. House and Mashburn Jr. both have 13 points to lead the way for the Lobos. That’s how you pick up your sick point guard.

1:23 1H: Lobos 34 SDSU 26. Big 83 seconds coming up for the Lobos.

Halftime: Lobos 36 SDSU 30. Great place to be after 20 minutes considering you’re basically without Dent. Need to get the lead back over 10 in the first 5 minutes of the second half.

15:51 2H: Lobos 41 SDSU 33. Great start for the Lobos building a little more space between the two teams. Unsure if we will see Dent again today.

11:44 2H: SDSU 44 Lobos 43. Bad stretch for the Lobos, they need to regroup and find their footing again soon.

7:35 2H: SDSU 54 Lobos 51. SDSU is getting a very friendly whistle with LeDee right now and he is making it count as he is 10-10 from the line so far.

5:33 2H: SDSU 59 Lobos 57. Great response by the Lobos. Need to find a couple of jump shots, and hope that LeDee doesn’t hit every single free throw he shoots.

3:51 2H: Lobos 59 SDSU 59.

I’m so ready to dance.

Sorry for the long delay, THAT WAS FUN!!! Let’s go dancing. Final: Lobos 68 SDSU 61. Lobos move to 26-9 and take any doubt away on Selection Sunday!
