It might have got a little lost in the media shuffle, but the Lobos played a basketball game against CSU this past Saturday. And they played really well! Their impressive win snapped a three-game losing streak and put them right back in the hunt for a conference title. Tuesday night, they’ll take on the first-place Boise State Broncos, where a win would put them in a great position going forward.

Weekly Roundup (1/16/2017)
After a lengthy break, we’re bringing back the Weekly Round-up to stay up to date with all Lobo sports! In the weekly round-ups we will have a recap of the results, key performances, and awards for the various sports, while also taking a look at what is coming up in the next week.
Men’s Basketball Game 18 Preview: CSU
The Lobos are in a bit of a skid, having lost three straight conference games, all of which saw them with second-half leads. Unfortunately, things don’t get easier from here, with another tough road swing staring them in the face. First up is Colorado St., who are one of the hottest teams in the conference and tend to play well at home. It won’t be an easy one, by any measure, but a win could be just the thing to get the team back on track, and talk some Lobo fans off the ledge.
Men’s Basketball Game 17 Preview: UNLV
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!
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.
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.
Men’s Basketball Game 14 Preview: San Diego State
Fresh off a conference-opening win against Fresno State, the Lobos will open 2017 with a visit to San Diego State. The Aztecs are again the conference favorites, so a win would be great for the Lobos, and for pretty much every team in the conference not named San Diego State.
Our Top Lobo Memories from 2016
2016 is finally, mercifully behind us. And while the year has been a rough one in a lot of ways, we still ended up with a lot of great memories from following the Lobos over the past 12 months. Without further ado, here are our favorite Lobo memories from the past year.
Men’s Basketball Game 13 Preview: Fresno State
After a, let’s say, rocky non-conference season, the slate gets wiped clean and the Lobos will now turn their attention towards a conference championship. Their first test will be Fresno State, the reigning conference tournament champions. They also have their sights at the top of the conference standings, so this will likely be an emotional, competitive game.
Men’s Basketball Midyear Conference Reset
Now that conference play is about to start up, we figured that it’s time to take a step back to see how all of the teams in the conference fared so far this year and then try to figure out what we think will happen these next few months. There are no terrible teams in the conference this year, but there also aren’t any great teams either, which means that this year has the potential to be pretty wild.
