The New Mexico Lobos men’s basketball team has had a notable season, recently advancing to the semifinals of the Mountain West Conference (MWC) Tournament. They secured a 63-52 victory over San José State, with standout performances from Donovan Dent, who scored 25 points, and Nelly Junior Joseph, who contributed 14 points and 16 rebounds.
In the MWC semifinals, the Lobos faced Boise State but were narrowly defeated, ending their tournament run.
Despite this setback, New Mexico clinched the MWC regular-season title, with Dent’s 33-point performance in a 71-67 win over Nevada playing a pivotal role.
As the NCAA Tournament approaches, the Lobos’ strong season positions them as a team to watch. Their performance has sparked discussions about their potential seeding and prospects in the national tournament.
