ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – The regular season has come to an end for the Lobo men’s basketball team. UNM fell 90-94 to Utah State on Saturday. With the loss, the Lobos will be the 3 seed in the Mountain West tournament.
“I thought we did a nice job for a lot of the season to put us in that situation and felt like we fought and gave a great effort tonight, but just came up short,” said UNM head coach Eric Olen. “We would have liked to have made a few more plays and those guys are disappointed, but it is what it is.”

Jake Hall continued his stellar freshman campaign by setting a new UNM freshman single-game record with 32 points. Including his total against USU, Hall finished the season with 506 points, which is a new record by a freshman in UNM history. He also set the conference-season scoring record by a freshman.
Tomislav Buljan also finished the regular season with notable accolades. With a double-double against USU, he finished conference play with 10 double-doubles. That mark tied SDSU’s Kahwi Leonard for the most by a freshman in MW history. He also had a nation-leading 14th game this season with at least five offensive rebounds.
The Lobos now head to the Mountain West tournament in Las Vegas. With a first-round bye, UNM will play in the quarterfinal round on Thursday night.
