The Lobos are 21-8 this season, 9-7 in the Mountain West, and are looking to snap their first two-game losing streak of the season. JT Toppin earned his record-tying ninth Mountain West Freshman of the Week award on Monday following a 21-point, eight-rebound performance at league-leading Boise State on Saturday. New Mexico is one of four teams in the nation with three players averaging 15.0 points per game in Donovan Dent, House and Mashburn.
Fresno State is 11-18 overall, 4-12 in the Mountain West, after a 74-66 loss at Nevada on Friday. The Bulldogs are led by Isaiah Hill, who averages 12.6 points and 6.1 assists per game.
The game is the only meeting of the season between the schools. The Lobos won the last meeting, 94-80, in last year’s Senior Night at The Pit, which snapped the Bulldogs’ seven-game win streak in the series.
The Lobos will conclude the regular season on Saturday at No. 22 Utah State. Game time in Logan is set for 6:30 p.m. and the game will air on CBS Sports Network.
