BOISE—The University of New Mexico men’s basketball team lost 62–53 to Boise State on Tuesday night, undone by historically poor 3-point shooting despite strong starts to both halves. The Lobos opened the game on an 8–0 run and began the second half with 13 straight points, completing a 15–0 surge to take a 32–21 lead. However, UNM shot just 3-of-25 from beyond the arc (12%), its worst performance ever when attempting at least 20 threes. Freshman shooter Jake Hall went 0-for-7. Boise State, though also inefficient, recovered behind physical play in the paint, timely 3s from Spencer Ahrens, and a 10–0 second-half run that erased UNM’s final lead. The Broncos evened their Mountain West record at 1–1, while UNM fell to 10–3 overall. Tomislav Buljan led the Lobos with 16 points and 10 rebounds.
