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).

Monday’s Top Stories
Monday’s Five Facts
[1] ABQ City Councilor aims to bolster protections for renters amid unseasonable warmth – Albuquerque city councilor is looking to make sure city landlords are not only providing cooling systems, but also ensuring they actually work when they’re needed. City Councilor Tammy Fiebelkorn spearheaded an ordinance in December of 2024, requiring all Albuquerque rental properties to have a cooling system. Now, Fiebelkorn is taking it a step further, hoping to establish cooling system performance requirements. The ordinance is expected to be voted on in final action at Monday’s city council meeting.
[2] Rio Grande showing dry spots in Valencia County amid record-low snowpack – Portions of the Rio Grande are now seeing dry spots earlier than expected. Officials say the timing is not normal. In Valencia County, parts of the river are already running dry. Near the river crossing in Los Lunas, the river has open pockets. Further south, it is being reported as dry as well. There is a slight positive outlook for the monsoon season, with forecasters and officials predicting a strong season in the Middle Rio Grande Valley.
[3] Very spotty rainfall, warmer, & mostly calm week – Warmer weather will continue building in across the state throughout the upcoming week. A few isolated rain chances will return Monday in parts of New Mexico, but some of that rain may evaporate before reaching the ground. Temperatures will continue to increase through the middle of the week.
[4] NM representatives celebrate grand opening of new office with open house – A new state legislative office made its debut for representatives Eleanor Chavez and Yanira Gurrola. The new location is just one of the handful of new legislative offices now open across the state. They hosted a grand opening for the building that was open to the public. Representative Gurrola says it’s just one step towards modernizing the state’s legislature. The new office will allow residents to stay more connected to each representative.
[5] New Mexico Motorfest 2026 takes place in celebration of Route 66 Centennial – Another Route 66 celebration took place over the weekend and this one was all about cars. The New Mexico Motorfest happened at the Expo New Mexico racetrack. Over 300 vehicles from classic hot rods to lifted trucks were featured at the event.
