Geoff Grammer and the radio guys have improved their seating from the regular season game against UNLV. I will update this blog throughout the game and do this for every game the Lobos play in the Mountain West Tournament.

LATE NITE HOOPS! Live Blog: Lobos vs. Boise State
The Lobos (17-2, 4-2) looks to extend their 3-game winning streak after dropping back to back games in early January, as they host another Conference Favorite in the Boise State Broncos (15-4, 5-1). This game has huge implications on the league title race, and could solidify the Lobos chances for an early lock status for the NCAA Tournament. Feel free to join in on the conversation.
