A shorthanded UNM men’s basketball squad fell to Colorado State Wednesday night in Fort Collins, Colo. (UNM Athletics)
With little left to play for but pride, the Lobos who were in Fort Collins, Colo., on Wednesday night did nothing to hang their heads about.
Wrapping up a historically bad regular season in the standings — one in which fourth-year head coach Paul Weir announced his resignation on Friday — a UNM men’s basketball roster playing with just six scholarship players and four walk-ons managed to post the team’s second-highest point total of the season against a Division I opponent in an 87-73 loss to NCAA Tournament hopeful Colorado State in Moby Arena.
