New Mexico Lobos

It was a night to forget for Wyoming Cowboys football. The Pokes were thumped by the New Mexico Lobos 56-35 Saturday night in Albuquerque.

The regular season finale for Wyoming Cowboys football will feature another late night kick-off when the Pokes visit New Mexico Saturday, Nov. 26.

Saturday starts conference football action for the Wyoming Cowboys in the 2015 season.

Our friend Michael Carlyle from AM 610 KNML Albuquerque joined Wyoming SportsLine to preview this weekend's Wyoming Vs. New Mexico regular season finale.

A lack of offensive firepower hampered the Wyoming Cowboys, as they lost to the #14 New Mexico Lobos 59-46 in the quarterfinals of the Mountain West Basketball Championships in Las Vegas Wednesday night. UW shot only 32 percent from the field and could never mount a serious challenge to the Lobos, who ended the game on a 12-4 run to advance to the MW tournament semifinals Friday night.

Hugh Greenwood hit an open 18-footer and a pair of free throws with 7.4 seconds left, and the 20th-ranked New Mexico Lobos escaped Laramie with a 63-59 win Wednesday night in Mountain West Conference action at the Arena-Auditorium. The Lobos shot 53.8 percent from the field in the second half and finished with four players in double figures.

Ending what can only be described as a nail-biter, Francisco Cruz dropped one at the buzzer, giving Wyoming the 67-66 win over New Mexico on Saturday.
