What to Know
New Mexico is 1-9 against the Rebels since January of 2019 but they’ll have a chance to close the gap a little bit on Saturday. Both teams will face off in a Mountain West battle at 8:00 p.m. ET at The Pit. Both teams come into the contest bolstered by wins in their previous matches.
Wyoming typically has all the answers at home, but on Tuesday New Mexico proved too difficult a challenge. They took down the Cowboys 91-73. Winning is a bit easier when you make seven more threes than your opponent, as New Mexico did.
Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead New Mexico to victory, but perhaps none more so than Donovan Dent, who scored 19 points along with seven assists and six rebounds. JT Toppin was another key contributor, dropping a double-double on 11 points and 13 rebounds.
Meanwhile, UNLV had already won two in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 10.5 points), and they went ahead and made it three on Saturday. They walked away with a 62-48 victory over the Cowboys.
UNLV’s win was the result of several impressive offensive performances. One of the most notable came from Dedan Thomas Jr., who scored 14 points along with five assists and four steals. The team also got some help courtesy of Luis Rodriguez, who scored 12 points along with five rebounds and two steals.
The Lobos’ win was their third straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 19-4. Those victories were due in large part to their offensive dominance across that stretch, as they averaged 90.3 points per game. As for the Rebels, their win bumped their record up to 12-9.
Some high-performance offense is likely on the agenda as New Mexico and the Rebels are some of the highest scoring teams in the league. New Mexico hasn’t had any problem running up the score this season, having averaged 84.4 points per game. However, it’s not like UNLV struggles in that department as they’ve been averaging 75.1 points per game. With both teams so easily able to put up points, the only question left is who can run the score up higher.
Going forward, New Mexico is the favorite in this one, as the experts expect to see them win by 12 points. This contest will be their tenth straight as the favorites (so far over this stretch they are 7-2 against the spread).

Native Vote 2026
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — A Laguna Pueblo woman is the front runner to be New Mexico’s next governor.
Shortly after polls closed Tuesday night, Deb Haaland was declared the winner over Bernalillo County district attorney Sam Bregman in the state’s semi-open Democratic Party primary. As of 11:00 p.m., Haaland carried support from 72% of the Democratic primary voters to Bregman’s 28%, according to unofficial results from the New Mexico Secretary of State.
“We’re showing everyone that a better future in New Mexico is possible,” she told supporters gathered in Albuquerque’s historic Old Town Plaza. “New Mexicans want a leader who will stand up for working people, and who is ready to take on Donald Trump. I proudly accept your nomination as a Democratic nominee.”
Haaland spoke for 13 minutes, at times through a scratchy throat that required her to pause for water breaks. “Excuse me, I’ve been talking with voters all day,” she said while grabbing a water bottle before hitting her campaign stump notes on affordability, health care and public safety.
She will face Republican Gregg Hull, a former mayor from suburban Rio Rancho that won his party’s three-way primary with 47% of the vote, according to unofficial results from the New Mexico Secretary of State.
Haaland will be the Democratic Party nominee in a state dominated at every level by Democrats, and is expected to be heavily favored in the general election. With that insight she said her campaign message does translate to Republicans and Independent voters.
“We want our kids to thrive. We want our kids to have a quality, public education. We want every New Mexican to have health care. Everybody wants to feel safe in their neighborhoods, and everybody wants to be able to afford to put a hot meal on their table every night and have a roof over their children’s heads,” she said. “Those issues transcend whatever political spectrum we’re trying to slice and dice people into.”
Shortly after the race was called, Haaland campaign staff, major donors, surrogates, and their families walked from a building on the west side of Albuquerque’s Old Town Plaza to the historic plaza core, where the Haaland campaign had set up a stage and reserved the entire plaza for its victory celebration.
“We are now witnessing history in the making,” New Mexico state Rep. Derrick Lente (Sandia Pueblo) said to supporters immediately after Haaland was declared the winner.
Denise Wilie (Dine) also joined the celebration of Haaland’s victory. Wilie said she worked on get-out-the-vote efforts with the Native American Voters Alliance in McKinley County.
“It just is so exhilarating to even think about, a woman and a Pueblo woman,” she said. “Indigenous all the way, is how I feel. I’m like, yes, let’s get more of our voices.”
Haaland was introduced by her two sisters and walked to the stage escorted by a mariachi band.
Speaking to reporters after the event Haaland reflected on voting for a Pueblo woman (herself) for governor.
“I got emotional, quite frankly, when I went to vote for myself because you do that when you’re a candidate,” she said. “We’ve never had a Native American governor in New Mexico. We’re a multicultural state. I think representation matters, especially in a political era such as this one. So, I’m really proud and honored to carry on the legacy of my ancestors, who worked so incredibly hard to make sure that I had a place here today.”
