The New Mexico Lobos have taken some pressure off their backs. They had lost at home to UNLV a few weeks ago, getting swept by the Rebels and losing in consecutive seasons to Vegas, despite the fact that UNLV has been one of the Mountain West’s most disappointing teams on a continuous basis. After the loss to UNLV, there was reason to think New Mexico was on the verge of repeating the February implosion last year which caused the Lobos to miss the NCAA Tournament in spite of being the last Division I team to lose within that same season. New Mexico was doing great through late January of 2023 but absolutely fell apart in February to miss the NCAAs.
Was this pattern — this downward spiral — about to happen again? People in Albuquerque and around the country were asking it and thinking it. New Mexico needed to drive out the demons and re-establish itself as a clear-cut NCAA Tournament team.
Then came the moment which might be looked back on as the time New Mexico buried its ghosts and its past.
The Lobos, trailing 80-77 in overtime at Nevada, were in trouble. Jamal Mashburn Jr. decided to do something about it. Jamal Mashburn’s father played for Rick Pitino at Kentucky in the early 1990s and resurrected Kentucky basketball. Mashburn Jr. is playing for Rick’s son Richard at New Mexico. He might have resurrected Lobo basketball by hitting two 3-pointers to lift New Mexico to a win at Nevada. That result took New Mexico off the middle of the bubble and put the Lobos inside the cut line for the NCAA Tournament. New Mexico isn’t quite a lock — more work is left to do — but the Lobos are now very likely to get in and have a much less daunting path to the field of 68. A win here over Colorado State would come close to sealing a bid for the Lobos, who have shown a lot of resilience all year.

Why Colorado State Could Cover the Spread
The Rams have won four of their last five games. They just drilled Mountain West leader Utah State by 20 points. Isaiah Stevens is an elite guard, arguably the best guard in the Mountain West Conference. CSU has found a groove and has already beaten New Mexico this season, prevailing by eight points at home in early January. If CSU can beat New Mexico by eight at home, it can cover a 5.5-point spread on the road. It would be hard to think New Mexico is 14 points better at home compared to the road in a head-to-head matchup with Colorado State.
Why New Mexico Could Cover the Spread
The Lobos have been strong at home this season. They have lost only twice, and one of those games involved Boise State’s Max Rice having a career game with insane shooting statistics. UNM, if it loses here, would drop back-to-back home games. That very rarely happens, especially when the Lobos are good. They should be able to play their best ball. They will also be motivated by revenge for their loss at Colorado State earlier in the season.
Final Colorado State-New Mexico Prediction & Pick
New Mexico should not be this big a favorite — the number should probably be 3.5 instead of 5.5 — but just the same, stay away here. It’s not an easy game to read.

The Canyon Venado Fire has grown to 852 acres east of Clines Corners and crews say wind farms in the area are threatened.
CLINES CORNERS, N.M. – The Canyon Venado Fire has grown to 852 acres east of Clines Corners and crews say wind farms in the area are threatened.
The fire is burning just east of Clines Corners, south of Interstate 40.
It forced the closure of eastbound Interstate 40 at Clines Corners on Tuesday night. I-40 reopened Tuesday night. I-40 is back open but smoke still affects visibility.
“We’re on the side of I-40 so drivers have to be pretty cautious. As far as our establishment itself we’re pretty isolated by the freeway itself as a nice fire break,” said Lincoln Tarantino, Clines Corner general manager.
The fire has burned around 852 acres, up from just 20 at this time Monday.
Crews say the fire is not contained and wind farms in the area are threatened.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – Seniors at Manzano Mesa Multigenerational Center say broken air conditioning has left the gym above 80 degrees during peak summer heat.
Angi Gonzales Carver said she goes to the center almost every day and now worries the heat could cancel classes for seniors, adults and kids.
The city said three HVAC roof units at the center need replacement. The city said those units are 20 years old and crews have put in one portable cooler and two fans for now.
“I have a temperature measure, and it was 88 and that was without people,” said Angi Gonzales Carver.
Carver says the center recently posted a warning sign saying staff will cancel classes and activities if the gym gets hotter than 78 degrees.
“A lot of them have to sit down and they’re they’re fanning themselves,” said Carver.
The city considers all multigenerational centers cooling centers, including Manzano Mesa. The city says it plans to add two more portable units next week while it works to restore the air conditioning.
“I mean, we, as seniors, we deserve better,” said Carver.
The City’s statement
A city spokesperson gave the following statement regarding the HVAC situation:
“The City is carrying out a planned replacement of the three HVAC roof units at Manzano Mesa Multigenerational Center, which are 20 years old. Portable cooling units support the gym and two additional portable units will be installed next week. All other areas of the facility remain fully air-conditioned and operational.”
