UNM men’s basketball defeated Fresno State 83–74 on Wednesday in the Pit, but the game was overshadowed by heavy officiating. Mountain West officials called 39 combined fouls, including 16 on UNM in the second half, prompting head coach Eric Olen to receive just the third technical foul of his career. Despite late whistles allowing Fresno State to close the margin, the Lobos controlled the game behind a dominant defensive effort. UNM forced 22 turnovers, recorded a season-high 18 steals and turned those into 29 points, improving to another conference win ahead of Saturday’s 90's themed matchup with Nevada.
Erik, Nick, and Ed recap the game with their personal takes and look ahead to Nevada.
Sam Hadfield from 801 Bracketology joins the show to talk NCAA bids, bubble watch and first-four in scenarios for New Mexico Basketball and the rest of the Mountain West Conference.
