Honestly, we are really die hard fans out her in New Mexico and love our Lobos. I just wanted to come check out your board and see what you guys were saying about playing the Lobos and thought I would give you some information about our team. I'm not the kind of fan who hates anybody who roots against my team and wanted to cordially give information and wish you guys luck. Of course I would love it if we went to your place and beat you and I hope we do, but I'm definitely not spiteful and don't wish any ill will to your team. I think you guys sound pretty good this year and we are pretty down this year from the past three so I think you will beat us. I hope I'm wrong. I wish you guys luck, not necessarily in beating us but throughout the rest of the year and I hope you team doesn't get any injuries like we've had this year! I'm definitely not coming on here to troll you guys! I just love college basketball and love talking about it with other passionate fans!

Hey everyone,
I just wanted to come check out your message board and fill you all in on the Lobos this season. The Lobos have gone to the NCAA tournament the last 3 seasons and have been ranked in the top 25 in all of those seasons. However, we lost Alex Kirk (Cleveland Cavaliers), Cameron Bairstow (Chicago Bulls) and Kendall Williams (overseas) from last years team. As you can imagine, its really difficult to replace 3 guys who all average over 15 pts a game, so the Lobos are currently in a transitional/rebuilding year.
The Lobos have 2 Seniors led by Hugh Greenwood and Deshawn Delaney. Hugh has been a starting guard for the Lobos all 3 years he's been here and Deshawn became a starter around conference time last season. Hugh has been looked to this season to shoulder a lot of the offensive load but has struggled to find his shot early in the season. Delaney is a freaky athlete and loves to try to get to the rim. The Lobos are playing without arguably our best player this year in Cullen Neal as he was injured just 3 games into the season. He was shooting 50% from behind the arc and was averaging 24 pts a game going into our 3rd game against Boston College. Arthur Edwards who was coming off the bench and starting for Cullen after he got hurt also broke his hand and will miss Saturday's game. Lastly, we are playing without Jordan Goodman who is out with a concussion. Goodman is a 6-10 PF/SF and was the #2 rated JUCO player in the country. In the one game where he really played significant minutes he scored 18 pts. So the Lobos are in a transitional year and playing without 3 talented and key players.
In the last couple games we have started Hugh Greenwood (Sr), Xavier Adams (Fr.), Deshawn Delaney (SR), Devon Williams (So.), and Obij Aget(So.). Off the bench we have Tim Jacobs (Jr.), Sam Logwood (Fr.) Joe Furstinger (Fr) and JJ Nganga (Jr.). Overall we are very young and missing key players while we also have Elijah Brown and Tim Williams who transferred and are redshirting this year.
We are coming off a tough tournament where we lost 2 out of 3 games and came back home and lost to Southern Cal. We got back on the winning track last night against our in state rivals New Mexico State and looked alot better than we have recently. All in all it seems like you guys have a pretty good team this year and will more than likely win against our young and inexperienced team. Good luck to you guys!
