New Mexico Lobos Win Seventh Straight Game

The New Mexico Lobos extended their winning streak to seven games by defeating the San Diego State Aztecs 62-48 on Saturday, marking their best start in the Mountain West Conference in 50 years. New Mexico's defense was crucial, limiting SDSU to just 20 points in the first half and forcing numerous turnovers. Donovan Dent led the Lobos with 16 points, while Filip Borovicanin and Nelly Junior Joseph each recorded double-doubles in their earlier win over Wyoming. Despite a strong defensive reputation, the Aztecs struggled offensively, with Miles Byrd being the lone bright spot in the second half. The Lobos now hold a 14-3 overall record and remain undefeated in the conference at 6-0, while SDSU drops to 10-4 with a 4-2 conference record. Upcoming games for UNM include a trip to San Jose State and a home matchup against Boise State.
