ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. —The University of New Mexico Lobos remain nationally ranked after another victory, checking in at No. 23 in this week’s Associated Press Top 25 Poll.
The ranking marks the second consecutive week the Lobos have appeared in the AP poll after earning the first national ranking in program history earlier this season. The team was previously ranked No. 22 before slipping one spot despite remaining in the win column.
New Mexico continues to enjoy one of the most successful seasons in program history, compiling an 8-1 overall record while remaining undefeated in Mountain West Conference play. The Lobos currently sit atop the conference standings as they continue their pursuit of a conference championship.
The program’s rise has been fueled by one of the nation’s stingiest defenses, allowing just over 10 points per game while helping New Mexico establish itself as a legitimate contender in the Mountain West.
With several regular-season games remaining, the Lobos remain firmly in the conference title race while continuing to receive national recognition rarely seen in program history.
