ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — The University of New Mexico men’s basketball team is set to continue Mountain West play on the road at San Diego State on Tuesday at 8 p.m. PT (9 p.m. MT) on CBS Sports Network.
The Lobos (8-8, 2-2 MW) are on a two-game skid after kicking off Mountain West play 2-0 and look to get back on track against the Aztecs (9-7, 1-2 MW) Tuesday night. SDSU enters Tuesday’s contest coming off of a loss at Air Force on Saturday.
Last time the Lobos and the Aztecs met was on March 10, 2018 in the Mountain West Championship. UNM fell by just seven points in the final six minutes to the No. 5 seed as the No. 3 seed, ending its historic run and exciting seven-win streak to close the season.
The Lobos continue to be led by senior Anthony Mathis (15.9 ppg) and redshirt-sophomore Vance Jackson (12.4). Mathis enters Tuesday’s game ranked ninth in the nation in 3-point field goals per game (3.69) and 14th in total 3-pointers (59).

New Mexico leads the series with SDSU 47-39 but is just 13-25 on the road. The Lobos faced the now-defending MW Champions twice last season including a 79-75 win at home on Jan. 20. UNM is 3-1 in the last four meetings with the Aztecs.

Head coach Paul Weir is 27-23 in his second season with the Lobos, 55-29 in his third season as a head coach. SDSU head coach Brian Dutcher is 31-18 in his second season at the helm of the Aztecs and in his career.
