Lobos score 99 points in road win over Oklahoma State

The University of New Mexico Lobos earned a 99-89 victory against Oklahoma State on Saturday in mid-October preseason action. Despite being out-rebounded 45-35, the Lobos capitalized on offensive opportunities, hitting 36 free throws out of 48 attempts. Oklahoma State head coach Steve Lutz commented on the need for improvement following the strong showing by UNM, which marks the most points scored against his team at Gallagher-Iba Arena since 2007. New Mexico's road trip was complicated by travel delays that resulted in arriving back in Albuquerque close to 3 a.m. following the game. The Lobos are expected to benefit from this preseason experience as they prepare for their full schedule, which has been officially released in conjunction with the announcement of KenPom's preseason rankings for college basketball.
