STEVENS: Alford's Young Lobos Plan To Reach High

The challenge to repeat as MWC champions and return to the postseason will be a daunting one for a Lobo team that returns one senior in Roman Martinez, one junior in Dairese Gary, and includes nine freshmen and sophomores. But that's exactly what Steve Alford's Lobos have in mind. "We know what we want and we're willing to put in the work to get it," said Gary, UNM's fearless, junior point guard.

STEVENS: Lobos Have Howling Good Time in Santa Ana Star Center

The turnout for the University of New Mexico's 2009 Howl was great. The Lobos didn't look too bad either. A Lobo-embracing crowd of approximately 3,500 ventured to a cool and far Northwest corner of Rio Rancho and snuggled into the warm Santa Ana Star Center to welcome Steve Alford's Lobo men and Don Flanagan's Lobo women into the 2009-10 season. "The fans are the greatest here and I hope we've earned some new ones," said Flanagan. "It's a great place to play and it's second only to The Pit." Alford said he wasn't surprised by the crowd. He said Lobo fans don't really care when or where New Mexico plays hoops. They just want to see a ball rolled out for Lobos to play with.
