As the finality of the 25-26 @UNMLoboWBB season sets in I want to thank the staff and players. It was an awesome group to work with and share their stories. Six years in I’m still in awe of the opportunity. Thank you fans for taking the journey with me!

🥎 San Diego State at New Mexico. 🏟️ UNM Softball Complex ⌚️ Double dose: 12 and 2pm. 📺 The MWN - golobos.com/watch Lobos look to lasso some Aztecs on PBR weekend in Albuquerque!

Deep diving into how this year’s WBB Sweet 16 teams are built. Some fun early results: - Every single team in the Sweet 16 wins the turnover margin, FG% margin, OREB margin - 11 of 16 win the 3ptm margin - 13 of 16 win the FTA margin

Nevada tabs NorCal high school coach Kelly Sopak to run the Wolf Pack women's basketball team. A Nevada graduate, Sopak won more than 500 high school games and been an elite force on the AAU circuit. nevadasportsnet.com/news/reporters…

It seems simple but can be so fun to watch, effort. The Lobos pulled together and are creating an unexpected final chapter to the season. #NIT2026

Ronsiek’s sideline 3 at the buzzer is too strong. Heck of an effort from CSU. While San Diego State is still alive in the WBIT the MW as we knew it is winding down. #MWWBB

Rams slowing it down and playing their style. Lost their leading scorer Lexus Bargesser to a season ending injury during the MW Tourney. #MWWBB

Next 🆙 #GoLobos

Eric Olen, “Thought our guys had a really mature approach to this.” “I had a lot of confidence in these guys and their competitiveness.” #Lobos #NIT2026

Sam Houston head coach Chris Mudge said he could count on one hand how many times his team was pushed around this year and he said the Lobos did that to them tonight. #NIT2026

The Lobos turned the page in a big way. They absolutely want to be playing. This could be an extended NIT run with this effort. #NIT2026

16 vs 16 in the First Four always delivers! #MarchMadness

.@CoachEricOlen, "They care. They play really hard...I hope (fans) appreciate that. I know that our guys appreciate their support. For us it's one more opportunity to go out and compete in front of Lobo Nation..." @UNMLoboMBB Full Conversation ⏬ podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ole…

@avatarsaysitall No.

@_JJBuck has UNM WBB been selected for the WNIT or WBIT for post season play? Anyone?

@txlobo95 It’s worth a shot. Olen could have a quick trigger on subs, but he also knows Chol and was last night enough to trust him to start again?

@_JJBuck Can we do that against a much bigger SUDS team though?

Bringing Chol off the bench, lowering expectations and taking some pressure off him. Good move. Let’s see if he can embrace that and find some confidence. #MWBB

Of course an immediate Chol 7-0 run with a dribble-drive and three mixed in. (Where was that bag hidden!?)

Just keep assuming UNM can create some distance and San Jose State says, no! Something to playing hard with no pressure. Just go ball. #MWBB

Spartans went from pesky D to swiping at everything. All the PIP for UNM. #MWBB

How long can SJSU stay around? Lobos went on a timely late run. Spartans four players with two fouls. Chance for UNM to really take control early in the second half. #MWMadness
