Zach’s Reacts: A 20 Game MW Slate? Part 1
During the Mountain West Men’s Basketball Media Day, the question was brought up if the Mountian West will be going to a 20-game schedule shortly. The answer is probably yes, but the question is what effect does it have on the Mountain West programs, and the Mountain West at large. Is it a smart thing for the Mountain West to do, and does it make sense in the current landscape of Division 1 College Basketball? There are different ways to look at this question and how it affects the New Mexico Lobos Program. Let’s go through some of those questions here:

We’re Back!
Zach’s Reacts: MW Tournament Quarterfinal vs. Utah State
In a game that looked like an upset win against Utah State (26-6), the Lobos (14-18) were instead unable to finish off the game and saw their season come to an end. There is plenty to talk about this game, so here are the things that caught my eye from media row:
Zach’s Reacts: Mountain West Opening Round vs. Wyoming
What looked like could be a quick exit for the Lobos (14-17) in the Mountain West Tournament instead featured a furious Lobo comeback in the second half to beat Wyoming (8-24), 78-68. It was a game that had its fair share of momentum swings and was an emotional rollercoaster, but left us ready for another day of Lobo basketball. Here are the things that caught my eye during the opening round of the Mountain West Tournament:
Zach’s Reacts: Mountain West Quarterfinal vs. SDSU
In a game that looked like the Lobos (24-6) would be able to advance comfortably to face the winner of Wyoming and Utah State, SDSU Aztecs (14-17) had different plans, as they came back to win the game in overtime 70-61. There are plenty of things to talk and think about this game, which ended the Lobos hopes for a trip to the NCAA Tournament. Here are some of the observation and thoughts that I gathered from media row in the Thomas & Mack:
Zach’s Reacts: WBB vs. AFA
The Lobos moved to 11-1 and 1-0 in MW play with a convincing 78-57 win over AFA in the MW opener for both teams. It was an opening night in the MW that saw every single home team take home a win. While there is very little that we can take from a single night of MW play, but here are some of my reactions and thoughts from Wednesday’s action in The PIT and around the MW:
MW 2018-19 Prediction Poll
Here is our Prediction Poll for the 2018-2019 MW Season. We are looking for more responses this year and decided to do a post on the website instead of just using Twitter. Both links are the same so you should be good to go at either spot.

Zach’s Reacts: Lobos vs. Sac State
The Lobos extended their win streak to eight tonight with an 85-53 win over Sacramento State. The Lobos are now 9-1 and will look to close their non-conference schedule 11-1 with their games against Stephen F Austin (at home) and Long Beach State (on the road). There is plenty to talk about with this team right now, so here are my reactions from tonight’s game:
Zach’s Reacts: Lobos vs. North Texas
After dropping another home game to North Texas, the Lobos fell to 5-5 on the season and left plenty of questions and observations from my seat. This is the first of Zach’s Reacts, in which I will give his immediate post-game thoughts. Each paragraph will be a different topic and I hope that the order works.
