Colorado State lights up New Mexico + Rocco Miller and MWC Bracketology

UNM men’s basketball missed a major opportunity to secure a chance at the outright Mountain West regular season title with an 82–74 loss to Colorado State on senior night at the Pit. The Lobos struggled defensively early, allowing the Rams to shoot 62% from the field while building a 19-point lead. UNM forced 20 turnovers and mounted a late rally, cutting the deficit to four in the final minute, but Colorado State sealed the game at the free throw line. The loss leaves UNM still in second place in the conference standings and needing a win against Utah State to earn at least a share of the Mountain West title.
