SDSU is a good team, but so are UNM, Utah State, and Boise State. SDSU won't run away with the conference in their final season in the MW like the national media wants. They will have to earn their wins.
A significant reason was because of the elevation as well. If you look at these simple stats it's very telling based on their ecord over the past two seasons above 4,500 feet: 1-6. Below 4,500 feet: 35-9. Marinate on that for a moment. It's one of the primary reasons big named schools would avoid the PIT like a nurgle plague. Not to mention the crowd is one of the most notoriest in the nation for the last 40 years. Most youngins are rarely aware of the PIT, let alone the tenacity of the crowd. However, the defense was still good, really good. New Mexico shot 35.8% overall and 6 of 28 behind the arc (21.4%) with .92 points per possession - all ranking as their second-worst figures of the season. The Lobos’ 62 points were their season low and 23 under their per-game average. So SDSU's was on point. But so were the Lobos, and they were even better at it that day. Moral of the story mi amigo, if you're going to play the Lobos at home you're also playing against the 15,000+ fans and 5,312 ft elevation. Good luck with that.
Whooped on The Aztecs 😂
