Good thing we are making threes or UNM would be running away with this game

Ball-handling (like in opener) is embarrassing

Guys might have dug themselves into too deep a hole to get out of. At least they knocked down a few threes but 35% shooting on your home court isn't going to get it done

I think any other team we’ve had in the past 10+ years, at home against a team like New Mexico (it’s early, but Sagarin has them ranked #172), and it would be laughable to say it’s over at halftime.
With this team, i think you are probably right.

As if there was ever any doubt, this team is really missing K.D. who could take control of a game and knew when to score and when to get others involved. Zhuric still growing into the role but doesn't have the handle K.D. does
