New Mexico Lobos Set to Clash with Colorado State Rams at Thomas & Mack

As the New Mexico Lobos prepare to face off against the Colorado State Rams, fans are eager to see if their team can continue its recent momentum. The Lobos have shown a strong performance in their past games, which bodes well for their upcoming encounter.

In their most recent game, the Lobos secured a 10-point victory over Boise State Broncos with a final score of 76-66. Their offense was firing on all cylinders, converting 52 percent of two-point attempts and scoring an impressive 40 points in the paint. Despite shooting only 25 percent from beyond the arc, they managed to maintain control throughout the game.


The previous match saw an even more dominant display by the Lobos against Air Force Falcons, where they triumphed with a score of 82-56. Their offensive efficiency was notable with a field goal percentage of 47 and an outstanding free throw percentage of 92. They also excelled defensively with nine steals and capitalized on turnovers by scoring 20 points off them.

These victories highlight several trends for the Lobos: they are strong inside scorers, aggressive on defense leading to turnovers from which they often benefit, and while three-point shooting may not be their strongest suit, it hasn't hindered them from outscoring opponents significantly.


Fans should expect another high-energy performance as both teams take to Thomas & Mack Center's court. The venue has been favorable for New Mexico so far; however, maintaining focus on defensive pressure and capitalizing on fast-break opportunities will be key against Colorado State Rams' challenge.
