ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — The University of New Mexico men’s basketball team looks to take its late-season momentum on the road on Saturday at Wyoming to close the regular season and enter into the 2019 Mountain West Championships on a three-game win streak. The Lobos and the Cowboys are scheduled to tip at 4:02 p.m. on ESPN3.
Heading into Saturday’s game, the Lobos (13-16, 7-10 MW) are locked into either the 6th, 7th or 8th seed in the Mountain West Championships. Results across the league on Saturday will determine final seeding.
UNM is coming into Saturday’s game after claiming two straight victories over Colorado State and Boise State at home. In Wednesday’s Boise State win, senior Dane Kuiper grabbed a steal with less than a second left on the clock to seal the victory for UNM on Senior Night.
Wyoming (7-23, 3-14 MW) snapped a six-game losing streak with an 81-71 win on Wednesday over San José State.
Senior Anthony Mathis enters Wednesday’s game with 100 threes this season, just three 3-pointers short of breaking the all-time UNM record for most threes in a single season. The current record of 102 was set in the 1998-99 season.
