Unranked UNM (22-4) (8-2 MWC) Men's basketball team humbled No. 11 UNLV (21-5) 65-45 in the notorious Pit in Albuquerque today.
This is SOO out of character for me, as spectator sports are not my thing, but, every now and then our University of New Mexico's basketball team has a hot season, and I find it my pleasure to root for them.
So if you follow NCAA basketball, be advised the Lobos are running. See, Thursday night they took on #13 San Diego State, at San Diego, 77-67.
In today's game, Drew Gordon had a career-high 27 points AND 20 rebounds, against a Top-25 team, making him only the fifth player in the past decade to make that achievement and the first since 2009.
And the only reason I know this is from reading this. I didn't even bother to look up the result, just noticed it on my daily cruise through Google' snooz. But I am 40+ years here in New Mexico, and I gotta let myself get into it, in case Teh Miracle happens and they finally make it to at least the Sweet Sixteen in the NCAA Championships. We are a huge space with very few but very diverse people, so anything that brings us all together over something, I'm in.
