ALBUQUERQUE, N.M – The Mountain West-leading New Mexico Lobos conclude their road schedule Tuesday night with a visit to Nevada. Game time at Lawlor Events Center in Reno is 7:00 pm MT (6:00 pm PT) and the game will air on CBS Sports Network and the Lobo Radio Network.
New Mexico (23-6, 15-3 MW) leads the Mountain West and would clinch at least a share of the regular season title and the No. 1 seed for the Mountain West Tournament with a victory. The Lobos are coming off a 92-71 win over Air Force on Saturday at The Pit. UNM is led by Donovan Dent, who leads the Mountain West in scoring at 20.0 ppg and Nelly Junior Joseph, who leads the Mountain West in rebounding at 10.8 rpg.
Nevada (16-13, 8-10 MW) is coming off a 68-55 loss at UNLV on Friday. The Wolf Pack are led by Nick Davidson, who is averaging 15.8 points and 6.3 rebounds per game.
New Mexico leads the all-time series 14-10, but Nevada leads 7-4 in Reno. The Lobos have won the last three meetings, sweeping the Wolf Pack last season and winning the first meeting this year, 82-81 in overtime at The Pit on Joseph’s buzzer-beater.
The Lobos conclude the regular season on Friday by hosting UNLV. That game will begin at 8:00 pm and air on CBS Sports Network.
