The University of New Mexico men’s basketball team is having what is arguably its best year ever, and today is the final day of the regular season for the Lobos, when they play Texas Christian University at The Pit. And 1st Congressional District Representative, and Lobos fan, Martin Heinrich honored the 25-3 Lobos basketball team on the floor of the House of Representatives in Washington D.C. today.
Heinrich congratulated the team on winning the Mountain West Conference regular season title, which they did with an 83-81 victory over Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah.
“In this truly remarkable season, the Lobos tied the school record for consecutive conference wins,” Heinrich said. “This is the second consecutive year that the Lobos won the conference championship.”
Last year, the Lobos split the regular season championship with BYU.
“The team recently cracked the nations Top 10 in both the AP and ESPN/USA Today polls, a feat not accomplished in more than a decade,” Heinrich said.
The Lobos are currently ranked eighth in the Associated Press poll and 10th in the ESPN/USA Today coaches poll.
