Maybe Lobos Will Get Wound Up Worrying About NCAAs
So ... anybody else thinking the New Mexico Lobos might be a little tight tonight, knowing (or at least, believing) that they need to beat the Utes in the quarterfinals of the Mountain West Conference tournament to keep their NCAA Tournament hopes alive?
"That is a real possibility," league commissioner Craig Thompson told the Albuquerque Journal. "... I think the biggest game on their schedule is [tonight], the neutral-court game against Utah."
The could really help the Utes, who really don't have any reason to be tight. Sure, they could reach the NCAA Tournament, too, but only if they shock everybody and win the league tournament. Nobody expects that, obviously, and any victories after their dismal finishing stretch will be seen as a bonus, so they can afford to be loose and care-free.
We shall see ...
