Sports Speak Up! Here's what disgruntled Lobo basketball fans are saying after Friday's loss at Air Force

Feb. 11—TRUE OR FALSE: 1.) Richard Pitino was taken to school by Air Force coach Joe Scott. 2.) A zone might not have stopped the 3 pointers but it would have stopped the incredible uncontested layups. 3.) AFA, a team starting 4 sophomores and a freshman (n4-9 in MWC play), not New Mexico, looked like the NCAA team. 4.) When a UNM starter is out, it's "next man up." 5.) 14-0 seems like such a long time ago. 6.) An FS1 announcer stated that New Mexico has fallen asleep (actually they never showed up). 7.) UNM is off the NCAA Tournament at-large board.

LOBOS COMPLETELY humiliated by Air Force. Worst defense I have ever seen! Third straight loss likely knocks them out of the NCAA Tournament. It will be interesting to see how Pitino deals with adversity.

DID THE LOBOS start believing their own press? They appeared to be mentally unfocused Friday night. Nevertheless, I like these players and coaches. It's the best we've seen around here in a long time.

COULD THE LOBO men's basketball team go winless the remainder of the season? After that Air Force beat down, it's possible. Yikes!

— Doubtful Dave, Albuquerque

THE FACT THAT Abby N is bothered by the news that two Black quarterbacks will be playing in the Super Bowl, for the first time, shows that we still have a long way to go to reach a color-blind society.
