As the New Mexico Lobos prepare to face off against the New Mexico State Aggies at the Pan American Center, fans are eager to see if their team can continue their impressive performance streak. The Lobos have been showcasing a strong offense in recent games, with a notable victory where they scored 106 points against the Aggies themselves. Their field goal percentage was an outstanding 60 percent, and they excelled beyond the arc with a three-point percentage of 56.

The team's ability to convert opportunities into points has been evident; they've maintained over 50 percent from the field across multiple games. In their last game, they dominated with 93 points and were relentless on defense as well, racking up an impressive 18 steals.
