The UNM Lobos basketball team put up a strong performance against Oklahoma State on Saturday, scoring an impressive 99 points on the road. The Lobos showcased their rebounding skills, even though they faced travel issues and a delayed flight out of Phoenix. Despite the setback, the Lobos dominated the game, with 36 shots made from the free-throw line and seven Lobos hitting multiple free throws.
Coach Steve Lutz complimented the Lobos' offensive prowess and their ability to give his team a wake-up call. New Mexico coach Eric Olen expressed disappointment in the team's performance down low but saw it as an opportunity for improvement. The Lobos will face challenges against size and experience in the post, but Olen expects the team to learn and adapt in the upcoming weeks.
The UNM Lobos will face tough opponents in the upcoming season, including Oklahoma State, Washington State, and Arizona State.
