New Mexico Lobos
New Mexico had a strong start to their season, easily defeating the 11-seed Air Force Falcons in their opening game. Led by JT Toppin, who received multiple postseason awards, the Lobos have a talented roster that has contributed to their impressive ranking of 32nd overall according to KenPom. They play at a fast pace and are currently on the bubble for a spot in the NCAA tournament. In terms of their statistics, New Mexico excels offensively but struggles defensively, allowing an average of 71.74 points per game. Despite their strong offensive numbers, their free throw percentage is lacking. With no injuries reported, the Lobos look poised to finish the season strong. 🏀 Highlights from @UNMLoboMBB ’s 82-56 win against Air Force in the opening round of #MWMadness #AtThePEAK | #GoLobos pic.twitter.com/BTt50xWK6O
