UNM Lobos Continue their Winning Ways

Last night the UNM Lobos defeated University of Wyoming 48-38 in the NCAA Men's Division-1 Basketball to up their record to 24-2. This win puts UNM in a three-way tie for first place in the Mountain West Division with UNLV and SDSU.

Here are their records:
University of New Mexico 6-2
San Diego State University 6-2
University of Nevada Las Vegas 6-2

By the end of this week we will get an even better picture of the Mountain West Standings, since UNM will play SDSU on Wednesday night at San Diego and UNLV here at the Pit on Saturday night.

This is a exciting time for UNM. With their overall record of 24-2, they seem to have a new sense of purpose ...Good Luck on the Road on Wednesday night....GO LOBOS!!

Chile Ristras are seen hanging in many stores,shops, restaurants and homes all around the Albuquerque area. We have two large chile ristras hanging at our front door year round. They meaning for some is Mi Casa Es Su Casa or My Home is Your Home. It is not uncommong to keep a chile ristra in their kitchen for a quick dash of spice when cooking, others hang them for their eye catching decor. Chile Ristra’s are just another unique Southwest touch you will find in and around Albuquerque.
