Episode Notes

This week, we recap a massive Saturday night in Albuquerque as the New Mexico Lobos extended their home winning streak to 20 games with a 78-58 dismantling of the Wyoming Cowboys. We dive deep into the "Tomislav Buljan Game"—analyzing how the freshman’s historic 25-point, 12-rebound double-double has fundamentally shifted the ceiling of this UNM roster.

In this episode, we break down:

  • The Tomi Takeover: Is Buljan officially the "Alpha" in the Lobos’ frontcourt?

  • The Second-Half Blitz: How Eric Olen’s tactical adjustments turned a 3-point nail-biter into a 20-point rout.

  • Leland Walker’s Long Night: How the Lobos’ perimeter defense turned Wyoming’s leading scorer into a turnover machine.

Looking Ahead: The Fort Collins gauntlet. We wrap up the show with a comprehensive scouting report on Colorado State with Insider Steve Ivy - Cracker's College Hoops. The Rams are shooting the lights out (Ranked #2 in 3PT%), but they can't rebound to save their lives. We outline the 4 keys to the game the Lobos must follow to steal a win at Moby Arena and stay atop the Mountain West standings.
