After a rough trip to Colorado, the Lobos look to get back to form against Fresno State. Once again, this game is for second place in the conference and again, a win would give the Lobos a series sweep and the tiebreaker for seeding purposes should the two teams finish with the same record. It’s definitely crunch time for the season and it feels like anything can happen, so I’m excited to see what the next couple of weeks holds for the team.

Men’s Basketball at Colorado St. Recap
In my preview, I mentioned that I was worried that we’d see another letdown game on the road after a disappointing road loss. Unfortunately, my worries were confirmed, as the team had a performance that was frustrating for everyone involved. They’re still in an okay position in the conference, as they control their destiny for second place, but they’ll have to regroup from this one so they can finish the season strong.
Women’s Basketball: CSU Game Preview
The Lobos (14-11, 7-7) are coming off two straight wins to get back to .500 in conference play, the most impressive win coming at Boise State, where they controlled the game from the opening tip. The home game against Air Force went as everyone expected, with the Lobos leaving no doubt into who would win the game. One thing that could have sparked the win streak that the Lobos are on was Coach Sanchez inserting Jaisa Nunn and Jayda Bovero into the starting lineup. Nunn has been really good as a freshman for the Lobos and once she is able to play 30 minutes a game at a high level, she will be an All-Conference caliber player.
Men’s Basketball at Colorado St. Preview
After a disappointing loss at Air Force, the Lobos now turn their attention to Colorado State. CSU has been struggling recently, but strange things, both good and bad, seem to happen to the Lobos at Moby Arena, so it should be an entertaining game. Four games left before the MWC Tournament. Let’s do this.
Men’s Basketball at Air Force Recap
In the first game of their two-game Colorado road trip, the Lobos defense collapsed in the second half against the home version of Air Force, eventually falling 76-72. That now leaves them needing to pick up a win against Colorado State in Ft. Collins to keep their second-place position in the conference standings.
Men’s Basketball at Air Force Preview
After an amazing, memorable win against Boise St., the Lobos now turn their attention to a two-game road trip through Colorado. The first stop is against Air Force, who the Lobos beat 84-55 a few weeks ago. However, that was the Road Falcons and this will be the Home Falcons. Believe me, they’re completely different teams.

Wow. A game that was billed to be a key matchup between two of the top teams in the conference instead turned into one to be remembered, as the Lobos managed to turn a 15-point deficit with six minutes remaining into a two-point win. This win was not only important for the Lobos to keep pace at the top of the standings, it might end up being the defining moment of the season.
Women’s Basketball: At Boise State Game Preview
The Lobos (12-11, 5-7) fell to seventh place in the Mountain West with a heartbreaking 59-58 loss to SJSU. The new rules came to help SJSU, as they were able to advance the ball after calling a time out giving them a chance to get a great look for the game-winning basket. Tonight, the Lobos will have a tough task to be able to move up in the standings as they head to Boise Idaho to take on the Boise State Broncos (16-8, 9-4), who are in third place in the conference.

Just a couple of weeks ago, the Lobos went up to Boise State and beat the Broncos, taking control of second place in the conference in the process. Tomorrow night, the Broncos will be looking to return the favor, with that second place position once again going to the winner. This is an important game for both teams, so expect a hard-fought, intense battle.
Men’s Basketball vs. San Jose State Recap
Saturday saw the Lobos welcome in a San Jose State team that, although at the bottom of the conference standings, were playing their best basketball of the season. With the Lobos looking to keep pace with the other teams at the top of the conference, a loss to the Spartans could have been devastating. However, behind a strong defensive showing and several solid individual performances, the Lobos were able to come away with a comfortable 74-58 victory.
