ABOUT THE LOBOS:Â New Mexico made its season debut Dec. 13, at Rice, and is now 3-0 after adding a pair of wins against non-Division I opponents last week. The Lobos are averaging 58.7 rebounds per game, including 21.7 offensive boards, and outrebounding their opponents by an average of 31 per game. Makuach Maluach is averaging a double-double at 18.3 points and 10 rebounds per game, leading three Lobos scoring in double-figures on the season.
SERIES HISTORY: New Mexico leads the all-time series 12-6. The Broncos have won the last two meetings in Boise, including a 74-61 win last season on Senior Day. The two teams also met in the conference opener last season, playing Dec. 4 in Albuquerque. The Lobos came away with an 80-78 victory.
REVISED SCHEDULE: For this season, the Mountain West adopted a 20-game league schedule which features teams playing each other in two-game series at the same location. Each institution will have five home and five road series. The move reduces travel to help mitigate potential virus exposures. The schedule is a one-year model adopted to specifically address the unique challenges of the current COVID-19 pandemic.
LET'S TRY THIS AGAIN: Boise State and New Mexico were slated to face off Dec. 3 and 5, but the games were postponed on Nov. 30, and later rescheduled for Dec. 21 and 23. A public health order in the Lobos' home county bars New Mexico from practicing in Albuquerque. The team has temporarily relocated to west Texas in order to practice, arriving at its new home Nov. 20. After the initial series dates were scrapped, the Broncos set up a game against Montana Western for Dec. 4, but that contest was canceled less than 24 hours before tipoff. Boise State salvaged a game Dec. 4, against College of Idaho, finalizing the contract on game day.
