New Mexico Lobos claim a thrilling victory over Nevada Wolf Pack in a close Mountain West basketball game. Jamal Mashburn Jr. hits crucial 3-pointers for the Lobos, securing the win in Reno for the first time since 2016.
Nevada men's basketball lost a heartbreaker to New Mexico last night at Lawlor Events Center, a game that included plenty of chirping between the Lobos players and Wolf Pack fans. Here's our photo gallery of the game from @BubalaTweets. https://t.co/IMVCASrvjb
When Nick Davidson got to Nevada three years ago, he couldn’t dunk off two feet. Last night he did this over one of the MW’s best post players, JT Toppin. A tough loss for the Nevada last night but Davidson (19 points, seven boards) had another big game. https://t.co/3vELwAu3NA

After a third loss in five games, to hot-shooting Syracuse, UNC’s season is at a crossroads. And with the ACC’s two toughest road games — Virginia and Duke — still to come. https://t.co/17QI8dNkzK

Blackshear midrange... House midrange... timeout. (2:02 2H): New Mexico 77, Nevada 77
The Mountain West rarely disappoints. This has been an awesome game.
Nevada 73, New Mexico 71... under 4 to play in Reno
Dent misses both FTs... 0-4 at line tonight. Nevada fouled at other end and gets two FTs and a chance for the lead. JT Toppin picks up his 4th foul.
Media timeout (7:59 2H): New Mexico 66, Nevada 61 • KJ Hymes will try to complete a 3-point play after the timeout
Nick Davidson with a poster of a dunk for Nevada... Lawlor goes crazy. UNM rattles off 6-0 all-freshman run -- JT, JT, Tru Washington. Nevada calls a timeout. (13:26 2H): New Mexico 58, Nevada 52
Awful start to the second half for the Lobos. Back to back Donovan Dent turnovers lead to Nevada points. Pitino calls a timeout after the Davidson dunk on the last one. (16:26 2H): New Mexico 49, Nevada 48
UNM has been outscored in the paint five times this season and is 1-4 in those games. It was a season-worst minus-22 in Saturday's loss to UNLV. UNM is 24-10 on points in the paint in the first half. (pic from my ETN column after UNLV) https://t.co/CqEXWNF5Hs
Halftime stats: UNM 45, Nevada 35 https://t.co/REtdgJorIK
HALFTIME: New Mexico 45, Nevada 35
Media timeout (14:51 1H): New Mexico 11, Nevada 11 • UNM's Donovan Dent shooting two FTs after the timeout
Three losses for #UNC in five games… Not good, obviously. The offensive lapses — especially the last few minutes of games — are as confusing as they are damaging. Getting Seth Trimble back helps there (and defensively), but still need more consistent bench production. Badly.
Well, that's three losses in the past five games for UNC. Easily could've been four out of five, with how it finished (or didn't, really) against Miami. UNC looked great against Duke. Outside of that, recently? Tar Heels have some things to figure out. https://t.co/xmRTULo0fS
After #7 North Carolina goes down at Syracuse, here’s the record of Top 10 teams on the road this season against unranked opponents: 33-34.
UNM hasn't lost back-to-back games this season and beat Nevada by 34 just two weeks ago. Since then, the Wolf Pack is the hottest team in a loaded Mountain West. What gives tonight in Reno? https://t.co/MzZ1YcBhyr via @ABQJournal #mwbb https://t.co/UxPqfbf0MU
My three keys to victory (🗝️🗝️🗝️) and a prediction (🔮) for the Nevada Wolf Pack (🐺) against the New Mexico Lobos (🐺) tonight at Lawlor Events Center. Both teams are listed among the "Last Four In" on ESPN's Bracketology update this morning. Huge game. https://t.co/HQmCvq24CE
Mountain West Freshman of the Year last year at Nevada is having success in the Big 12. Huge game tonight… https://t.co/2ckcEEwoaY
