New Mexico Lobos Set to Battle Northern Colorado Bears at The Pit in Albuquerque

As the New Mexico Lobos prepare to host the Northern Colorado Bears at The Pit in Albuquerque, fans are buzzing with anticipation for what promises to be an electrifying matchup. Coming off a string of impressive performances, the Lobos have shown that they are a force to be reckoned with on their home court.

In their recent game on November 27 against North Dakota State Bison, the Lobos dominated with a final score of 76-55. Their offense was firing on all cylinders, shooting nearly 46 percent from the field and an impressive 72 percent from the free-throw line. With such efficiency, it's no wonder they managed to rack up points in paint totaling 38 and fast break points at an astounding rate of 23.

The defensive prowess of UNM cannot be overlooked either. They out-rebounded their opponents by five boards and had nine steals which led to 19 points off turnovers. This kind of defensive pressure will undoubtedly pose a significant challenge for UNCO.

The Bears should not be underestimated though; they bring their own set of skills into this contest. However, if past games are any indication, UNM seems poised for another victory. On November 26 against Jacksonville State Gamecocks, despite a closer game with a final scoreline reading 79-61 in favor of UNM, it was clear that New Mexico's ability to control both ends of the floor played a pivotal role in securing their win.

Looking back further into this season’s performances provides even more reason for optimism among Lobo fans. On November 16 against SMU Mustangs away from home, UNM showcased its offensive might by putting up an impressive total of 84 points while maintaining over half shooting accuracy from two-point range (62 percent).

With such strong showings leading up to this game and considering how well-rounded New Mexico has been playing—balancing solid offense with aggressive defense—it would take quite an effort from Northern Colorado Bears to disrupt the momentum that UNM has built.

Fans eager to see if New Mexico can continue its winning ways should mark their calendars for November 28 when these two teams clash at The Pit starting at 5:30 PM local time (Mountain Time Zone). The action will also be available via internet broadcast on MW Network for those who can't make it in person but still want to catch every moment live as it unfolds.
