So, how was your weekend? Mine was fine, thanks for asking. I had an unexpected snow day, some good time with my family, and several hours sitting on the couch watching the NFL playoffs. What’s that? Something about a Lobo game on Saturday? Not ringing a bell. But they do have a game Tuesday night against UNLV!

Women’s Basketball at Nevada Game Preview
The Lobos (7-6, 3-0) return to Mountain West road action with their first of two road games this week in the state of Nevada. First stop on the trip for the first-place Lobos is a game against the last-place Nevada Wolf Pack (6-8, 0-3). The Lobos should be able to find it easy to score in this game, as the Wolf Pack may have the worst defense in the conference. If the Lobos can take care of the ball and force a turnover prone Wolf Pack team over, the Lobos should be able to win this game easily. Road games in conference play tend to be tougher than they should be, so the Lobos must show up and play a good game to improve to 4-0 in conference play.
Men’s Basketball Game 16 Preview: Nevada
Following a tough trip to Logan, UT, where they lost a tough game to Utah State, the Lobos return to the friendly confines of the Pit Saturday night to face Nevada. Nevada has looked like one of the best teams in the conference and will certainly come in thinking they can win this game, so the Lobos will need to put on a good performance if they’re going to avoid back-to-back losses.
Women’s Baskeball vs Utah State Preview
The Lobos (6-6, 2-0) return to action after their second straight dominating performance to start out Mountain West play. Neither the game at Fresno State nor against San Diego State were ever in question. In fact, the only thing that made you hold your breath during either game was when Lobo wing Alex Lapeyrolerie was face down on the floor for an extended period. Good news for the Lobos is Lapeyrolerie should only miss a couple of games due to concussion protocol, instead of it being something far more serious. Tonight, the Lobos will host a solid Utah State Aggies (8-5, 1-1) team, who are looking for a huge road win. The Lobos must find players to fill the void left by the Lapeyrolerie injury, but I think that the Lobos should be able to handle the Aggies in The PIT.
Men’s Basketball Game 15 Preview: Utah State
After pulling out a huge road win against San Deigo State, the Lobos are back at it Wednesday night, where they’ll head to Logan, UT to take on the Utah State Aggies. Last year, the Lobos had this same road trip, but instead of a great win, they were coming off a deflating, controversial loss and came out flat. Hopefully this game will also be the exact opposite as last year’s.
