New budget plan rewards completion

The funding formula for New Mexico colleges and universities is moving from an enrollmentbased system to a performance based system in an effort to create funding incentives to raise graduation and retention rates. Larry Behrens, the public information officer at the New Mexico Higher Education department, said the new Watson-Hadwiger Formula allocates funds based on outputs rather than inputs. Previously, the formula was based on the number of students enrolled, and the square footage of an institution. Rep. Ray Begaye (D-San Juan) said the new formula will create incentives that specifically target struggling students “I know from the students coming into the higher education setting, two years or four years, there’s been some indicators that students do drop out, so there’s a greater loss when students drop out of higher ed and complete at other schools,” he said. “This funding formula fixes it.” The Daily Lobo reported last month that UNM’s appropriation, $284.6 million for fiscal year 2013, is 5.7 percent more than it received this year. The state’s higher-education allocation for FY 2013 is $749.3 million, a 5.4 percent increase from this year. Of the total higher-education budget, $29 million was allocated for the new formula. Behrens said the outputs portion of the new formula makes up 5 percent of total funding to universities, and is aimed at increasing performance rather than focusing on inputs. “This 5 percent may not seem like a lot, but it’s one of the more aggressive in the country while still being prudent. Developing a formula that rewards institutions for graduates is a ‘win-win-win’ situation,” he said. Behrens said the old formula required institutions to calculate inputs through 125 spread sheets. The Watson-Hadwiger Formula only requires seven. According to Behrens, the new formula, which came out in October 2011 and will affect FY 2013, helps achieve three goals: 1. Close the achievement gap between the highest and lowest achieving students by increasing incentives for Universities to improve graduation, retention and course pass rates. 2. Graduate more students in the STHEM (science, technology, health care, engineering and math) fields. 3. Graduate more students overall. Behrens ascribed four benefits to the WatsonHadwiger Formula: 1. “The formula determines the best way to prepare our students for the workforce they will face,” by focusing on STHEM fields. 2. “Institutions receive increased funding for their graduates.” 3. “New Mexico taxpayers and employers receive a better return on their investment.” 4. “Students get a degree which makes them more competitive in the employment market.”

The funding for universities in New Mexico is determined by:

Drug-prevention office funded by Svetlana Ozden sozden@unm.edu
Following a decrease in funding from grants and state appropriations, the Campus Office of Substance Abuse Prevention turned to student fees to keep students from drinking and taking drugs. COSAP was denied funding from the Student Fee Review Board for fiscal year 2012, when it requested $16.82 per student. This year it requested the lowest amount of fees of any group for fiscal year 2013, and the organization has made significant progress in lowering drug and alcohol abuse rates among students. COSAP’s SFRB request for FY 2013 said 44.6% of students in 2001 reported having driven while drunk, a number which dropped to 33% by 2010. Reported underage drinking dropped from 64.4% in 2006 to 61.0% in 2010. COSAP collected this data from the Student Lifestyles Survey, an annual survey of 700-900 students’ alcohol and drug habits. But the program manager for COSAP John Steiner said adequate funding has been a struggle to maintain since the organization’s inception. COSAP was founded in 1992 as a response to the federal Drug Free Schools and Communities Act of 1989, which requires any university receiving federal aid to have a policy on drugs and alcohol and a program to prevent substance abuse. COSAP receives $1 per student in funding from UNM every year. It also received a grant from the Fund for Improvement of Post Secondary Education, but COSAP has not received it for several years. Steiner said COSAP requested $0.82 per student from the SFRB for FY 2013, a more modest request than COSAP had the year before, but the SFRB recommended it be

MOSCOW — Vladimir Putin scored a decisive victory in Russia’s presidential election Sunday to return to the Kremlin and extend his hold on power for six more years. His eyes brimming with tears, he defiantly proclaimed to a sea of supporters that they had triumphed over opponents intent on “destroying Russia’s statehood and usurping power.� Putin’s win was never in doubt, as

*According to the Campus OfďŹ ce of Substance Abuse Prevention funded at $0.84 per student. Steiner said any money helps students. “I think they gave us a vote of confidence because we had a very modest proposal and we had concrete ideas on how to spend the money.â€? COSAP has $5,000 to put toward expenses, and still has $5,000 remaining from a NCAA CHOICES grant of $30,000 awarded three years ago. It still has about $32,000 left from a $162,000 state block grant distributed among a coalition of five New Mexico universities this year. SFRB Chair Katie Richardson said although she can’t speak for the entire board, she believes COSAP was denied funding for FY 2012 to prevent a student fee increase. Richardson is one of two current SFRB members who were on the SFRB last year. In previous years, COSAP had a program called “Designated Drivers Do It for Their Friends,â€? a service that
many across the vast country still see him as a guarantor of stability and the defender of a strong Russia against a hostile world, an image he has carefully cultivated during 12 years in power. Accounts by independent observers of extensive vote-rigging, however, looked set to strengthen the resolve of opposition forces whose unprecedented protests in recent months have posed the first serious challenge to Putin’s heavy-handed rule. Another huge demonstration was set for Monday evening in central Moscow.

Putin claimed victory Sunday night when fewer than a quarter of the votes had been counted. He spoke to a rally just outside the Kremlin walls of tens of thousands of supporters, many of them government workers or employees of state-owned companies who had been ordered to attend. “I promised that we would win and we have won!� Putin shouted to the flag-waving crowd. “We have won in an open and honest struggle.� Putin, 59, said the election showed that “our people can easily distinguish

offered incentives for students who choose to be designated drivers. Bartenders signed off cards that would verify the student’s sobriety and designated driver status. These cards were redeemed for prizes, but the program was discontinued because of a lack of funding. The SFRB also recommended a $5,000 one-time funding allocation for FY 2013 so COSAP could restart the program. “The board thought it would be great as a pilot program to support safe driving habits,� Richardson said. Steiner said with the help of the small amount of student fees, COSAP will be able to significantly improve its work at UNM. “The main goal of COSAP is to educate students on making smarter choices when drinking in order to reduce the negative effects that alcohol can cause,� Steiner said. “Abstinence is not our thrust; we want to let students be students.�

LAST WEEK’S POLL RESULTS: On Thursday night, several protesters attempted to interrupt Nonie Darwish’s presentation at UNM. The episode eventually resulted in violence between the UNM Israel Alliance and the 23% (un)Occupy protesters. Who do you feel is at fault for this incident? (un)Occupy protesters. They forced their way into conversation instead of waiting like everyone else. The UNM Israel Alliance. The group shouldn’t have brought Nonie Darwish to campus because of her history of radical views against Islam.

I am one of those who has stood in solidarity with the (un)Occupiers since the beginning, and while I cannot speak for the movement as a whole, I can speak for myself as one of the protesters who often uses a smartphone and other mobile devices. The argument against the local (un)Occupy group written in Friday’s Daily Lobo by Chris Quintana is as frivolous and ridiculous today as it was when it was made against the occupiers in New York last fall by members of the national media. We live in a world in which almost everything we do is mediated by corporations that put profit before people. The gas you pump into your car is inexorably tied to the slavery of millions of Saudis, who are tied to an ideology supported by their leaders to keep their people in check.
Lobo should print more diverse, positive stories Editor, The content of the Daily Lobo needs some serious work. Lately, 80 percent of the paper contains something about the (un)Occupy movement or sports. I realize that these are current issues that readers may be attracted to, but I believe that there are more important issues that could be addressed. On Wednesday, the Lobo had 3 pages of sports and two of classified ads (out of eight total pages). On Friday, there were only three ar-

The food on your dinner table is picked by wage slaves with no rights, who fear to speak out because Americans are unsympathetic to “illegals.” Your clothes are made by children in Bangkok who will never receive an adequate education. Further, the power which you use every day to do most of the basic tasks of daily life pollutes the air of Navajos living in the Four Corners region of this very state. Piecemeal attempts to change the system, like those championed by the author, are not enough on their own. For most of us, everything we do, every single day, is drenched in the blood and pain of our fellow human beings. The only way to change this is by changing the whole system. The real crux of the argument made by Mr. Quintana against the iPhone and other mobile devices seems to surround the idea that they are a luxury without recognizing the incredible amount of personal and organizational empowerment such devices afford. These devices are tools as well as toys.
They have allowed protesters to report how they are oppressed by the police and recruit others to their cause. They ensure the bought media notices us. It is only through the use of these devices that people on a broader scale actually know what is going on in our movement. The mistake of the ‘60s was the idea that personal action, commitment and sacrifice are all that is required to change the system. This is not true. We need visibility and organization to get our points across. These devices help us with both tasks. Further, to ask us to “smash our iPhones,” after they have already been produced and sold, is the moral equivalent of asking for a book-burning because you don’t like how the book was made. To give them up is to play the game with one hand behind your back. You can do that if you want, but I won’t. I want a world where my every action isn’t drenched in blood. I want to change the system.
ticles that covered something besides (un)Occupy or sports (out of nine total). I love sports as much as the next person, but UNM is an institution of higher learning. Just this week, UNM has had the Kansas City Federal Reserve chairman and the former ambassador to Venezuela here to speak. It would be nice to have the Lobo cover more events. Also, I am sure that there are students accomplishing some amazing things in other areas of the University besides sports. I just wish that people would start viewing UNM as place where they can grow intellectually. The Lobo could be a great starting point to change the perception of the
University. I have lived all over the country, and UNM is an amazing place. Unfortunately, the Lobo does not search out positive articles that can help build upon the wonderful aspects of this community. So, please limit your sports/(un)Occupy coverage to one page and start giving the extra space to students who truly deserve some recognition. It would make the paper much more enjoyable and beneficial to read.
ior. They are shocked with electric prods, poked with sharp metal spurs, and tied up with tight, abrasive ropes. On horses, the flank strap is hung very loosely and very far forward on the horse in the chute. It is “pulled” in the very last second before the horse takes his first leap into the arena. It is equipped with a quick release handle to facilitate its fast removal. That’s why horses quit bucking as soon as the strap is removed, not because the rider has fallen or gotten off. Animals in rodeos are tortured for our en-
tertainment. Rodeos are cruel. Cruelty is corrosive. It doesn’t stop at the fence, gate or door. Instead of teaching our children that torturing animals is fun, we can choose to model compassion and empathy. Studies have demonstrated time and again that children who learn to respect animals are more compassionate and respectful toward human beings, which is good for everybody.

a desire for renewal and revival from political provocations aimed at destroying Russia’s statehood and usurping power.” He ended his speech with the triumphant declaration: “Glory to Russia!” The West can expect Putin to continue the tough policies he has pursued even as prime minister, including opposing U.S. plans to build a missile shield in Europe and resisting international military intervention in Syria. Exit polls cited by state television predicted Putin would get about 59 percent of the vote. With more than 80 percent of precincts counted nationwide, Putin was leading with 65 percent, the Central Election Commission said. Complete results were expected Monday. Communist Party candidate Gennady Zyuganov was a distant second, followed by Mikhail Prokhorov, the billionaire owner of the New Jersey Nets whose candidacy was approved by the Kremlin in what was seen as an effort to channel some of the protest sentiment. The clownish nationalist Vladimir Zhirinovsky and socialist Sergei Mironov trailed behind. The leader of the liberal opposition Yabloko party was barred from the race. “These elections are not free. … That’s why we’ll have protests tomorrow. We will not recognize the president as legitimate,” said Mikhail Kasyanov, who was Putin’s first prime minister before going into opposition. The wave of protests began after a December parliamentary election in which observers produced evidence of widespread vote fraud. Protest rallies in Moscow drew tens of thousands in the largest outburst of public anger in post-Soviet Russia, demonstrating growing exasperation with the pervasive corruption and tight controls over political life under Putin, who was president from 2000 to 2008 before moving into the prime minister’s
Ivan Sekretarev / AP Photo Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, who claimed victory in Russia’s presidential election, tears up as he reacts at a massive rally of his supporters at Manezh square outside the Kremlin, in Moscow on Sunday. Putin has claimed victory in Russia’s presidential election, which the opposition and independent observers say has been marred by widespread violations. office due to term limits. Golos, Russia’s leading independent elections watchdog, said it received numerous reports of “carousel voting,” in which busloads of voters are driven around to cast ballots multiple times. After the polls closed, Golos said the number of violations appeared just as high as in December. “If during the parliamentary elections, we saw a great deal of ballotbox stuffing and carousel voting … this time we saw the deployment of more subtle technologies,” said Andrei Buzin, who heads the monitoring operations at Golos. Alexei Navalny, one of the opposition’s most charismatic leaders, said observers trained by his organization also reported seeing carousel voting and other violations. A first-round victory was politically important for Putin, serving as proof that he retains majority support. “They decided that a second round would be bad, unreliable and would
show weakness,” Navalny said. “That’s why they … falsified the elections.” There was no evidence that the scale of any election fraud was high enough to have pushed Putin over the 50 percent mark and saved him from a runoff. Putin’s campaign chief, Stanislav Govorukhin, rejected the claims of violations, calling them “ridiculous.” Mikhail Gorbachev, the last leader of the Soviet Union, has become increasingly critical of Putin’s rule. “These are not going to be honest elections, but we must not relent,” he said after casting his ballot. Putin has dismissed the protesters’ demands, casting them as a coddled minority of urban elites manipulated by leaders working at the behest of the West. His claims that the United States was behind the protests spoke to his base of blue-collar workers, farmers and state employees, who are suspicious of Western intentions after years of state propaganda.”

It was cold and windy during the UNM Invitational at Lobo Field, but the No. 24 softball team in the country stayed red hot. The Lobos — who are among the nation’s top 25 teams, according to the latest National Fastpitch Coaches Association poll — dismantled California StateBakersfield and North Dakota in two-game series on Friday and Saturday, before dropping a 6-1 decision to the University of Utah on Sunday in the tournament finale. Despite the lone loss, UNM has the best start for a Lobo softball team in program history at 17-3. “We came out playing some great softball with two shut outs to begin the tournament,” head coach Erica Beach said. “Our pitchers threw the ball really well, and we put a lot of runs on the scoreboard. It’s a little disappointing not to close it out on Sunday, but we went 4-1 on the weekend. For the most part, we’re playing really good ball right now.” With Friday’s 8-0 win over North Dakota in the tournament opener, Beach’s 2012 squad improved to 15-2 to set the Lobo softball record for best start to a season, surpassing Susan Craig’s 1984 team, which began 13-2 before falling to 13-4. “I think it’s exciting for us to have such a great start to the season, but we have to remember that that’s exactly what it is — a start,” Beach said. “We can’t let that affect us day in and day out. We should use it for momentum and motivation, but at the same time stay prepared and focused on the task at hand.” The Lobos’ offense showed why it’s the 24th best team in the country, combining for 46 hits and 47 runs in the first four games, hitting five home runs by five different players. On Sunday, however, UNM’s bats couldn’t find an answer to Utah’s senior ace Generra Nielson. The right-handed hurler from Blanding, Utah, held the usually explosive Lobo offense to just one hit and one run in seven innings of work from the pitching circle. Beach said Nielson was

The Lobos lost to the Utes 1-6 to go 2-1 over the weekend. “definitely effective” in striking out 10 UNM hitters Sunday. “She moves the ball around and hits her spots,” Beach said. “We give her a lot of credit. She threw a great game against us, and she definitely kept our hitters off balance at the plate.” The Lobos’ lone hit was a big one — a home run by senior right fielder Shenise Cox over the left-field wall in the bottom of the first inning to give UNM its only lead of the game. The Utes answered in the top of the fourth inning with two runs of their own, before adding four runs in the sixth to put the game out of reach. “You can’t win a game with one hit,” Cox said. “We’ve faced
(Nielson) before — last year in conference. We’ve always had trouble against her. I have to tip my hat off to her because she definitely has our number.” Lobo junior pitcher Kaela DeBroeck picked up her first loss of the season, now 10-1, allowing seven hits and six runs in five innings in the circle. Freshman Carrie Sheehan held Utah scoreless in two innings of relief work. “It was a tough day for us,” DeBroeck said. “We went out there and tried to get runs across the plate. It just didn’t happen for us. We fell short on this one, and we have to chalk it up as a learning experience and move on from here.”
baseball
Poor offense blamed in 3rd loss by Mundo Carrillo ecarr50@unm.edu
The baseball team held the No. 16 Oklahoma Sooners to only five runs on Sunday at Isotopes Park, but it didn’t score any itself. After losing the first two games in the series to the Sooners during the weekend, 7-6 and 10-5, UNM lost its third game 4-0, losing its third straight series to go to 2-8 on the season. Junior pitcher Austin House struck out six Sooners, but gave up three runs and 11 hits in the first seven innings of the game. Senior pitcher Gera Sanchez came into the game at the top of the eighth inning and allowed one more run. “From a pitching standpoint, we competed a little bit,” House said. “We held the run game pretty well. They’re a good hitting
team, so what can you do? We’re making improvements, so that’s all that matters.” House said his job was to keep the other team from scoring so that the offense could take over the game. “What it comes down to is competing and getting after it on the mound,” he said. “We have to make sure our hitters have a chance to get us back in the game.” Only three Lobos were able to get hits. Senior third baseman Kyle Stiner and junior shortstop Alex Allbritton both went 2-3 at the plate. Senior designated hitter Trey Porras was 1-2 at bat. The Sooners jumped on top of the Lobos early. Sooner Evan Mistich hit a home run to left field, batting in center fielder Erik Ross to make the score 2-0 in the first inning. Oklahoma’s Max White singled
in the second inning, bringing in Jack Mayfield. The Sooners added another run in the ninth inning after Ross batted in pitcher Dylan Raper on a sacrifice bunt. Head coach Ray Birmingham said the team continues to make mistakes early in games. “We come in on cruise control and then we get punched in the mouth,” Birmingham said. “We have that problem early in innings.” Even though the Lobos played poorly, Birmingham said he is starting to see some improvement. “I thought we competed with them on the whole for two innings,” he said. “We didn’t come out with a ‘w’ (win) but I saw some growth. We have a young team and new guys and great competition and we’re not going to lower the bar.”
three assists. “He started to shoot and that is what we needed him to do,” Alford said. “He can really shoot the ball and if we can get scoring like we are getting out of him that helps us.” Greenwood said he stepped up his
game because he knew if UNM won its last two games of the season it would win the MWC regular-season title. “I really wanted to win, winning a championship level was one of my dreams coming here, and to do it on senior night was great,” he said.
Champion from page 12 Ryan Watkins had 16 and Thomas Bropleh added 12. Freshman guard Hugh Greenwood continued his 22-point offensive onslaught from Wednesday night as he added 15 points from 4-of-7 shooting. He also recorded five rebounds and

$12m field renovations to benefit NM community by Nathan Farmer
sports@dailylobo.com
Contractors began a $12 million renovation on the Lobo baseball field last week. The project’s first phase is estimated to cost between $2.3 million and $3.6 million, and includes new dugouts, bleachers, scoreboard and a renovation to the outfield wall. Officials said they’re unsure how many phases the project will contain, but the school has proposed a total renovation that would cost about $12 million. Vice President of Athletics Paul Krebs said after phase one, the other renovations will depend on how much money can be brought in. “There is a series of plans and initiatives — we have and future phases will be dependent on our ability to raise money,” he said. In 2010, the New Mexico Legislature gave $2 million to the renovation and UNM has also received money for the field renovation through donations. After the success of the renovation of The Pit, Krebs said
he expects more people to start donating money to the similar project. “There are a lot of people that want to get behind this project,” he said. “It’s our job to figure out how to raise the necessary monies to ultimately to build this field into its totality.” UNM usually plays at Isotopes Park, but when the Isotopes have a game scheduled for the same time, the UNM game is played on Lobo Field. With the renovations, UNM would play all home games at Lobo Field. Head baseball coach Ray Birmingham said the new field will be something the team can take pride in, and will help recruit new players. “It (Lobo Field) will do a lot for recruiting,” he said. “There are a lot of things that need to be fixed in this program, and the facilities are definitely one of them.” The field will not be used just for UNM games, but also for local high school teams. Krebs said it’s important for this field to be available to the community as well as Lobo baseball.
Junfu Han / Daily Lobo The Lobo Field is under the first stage of a $12 million renovation. The Lobos will use the new field for all home games when it is completed. “Our goal, long term, is to build a facility that is a testament to not only Lobo baseball but a facility
that is accessible to Albuquerque Public Schools and the New Mexico Activities Association,” he said.
“It really advocates and creates for all of baseball in the state.”
because the final three singles matches ended early after Western Michigan was mathematically eliminated. Against Texas A&M - Corpus Christi, UNM won 4-1. No doubles score was held, but during singles play junior Jadon Phillips won on the first court 6-3, 6-1, to send UNM on its way to a second win.
On Saturday against University of Louisiana – Lafayette, UNM won 4-1. After taking the doubles point, UNM won three of the four single points. Again the match was called early with two singles games remaining after University of Louisiana – Lafayette was mathematically eliminated. UNM is now 10-4.

LAS CRUCES — The women’s tennis team dropped its third contest of the season to Idaho State on Saturday, 5-2. Idaho State swept UNM in doubles play to earn the first point, and the momentum continued into singles play. On the first court, UNM’s sophomore Michaela Bezdickova was beaten in straight sets 6-4, 6-2.
UNM’s only points came on the third court and fifth court when freshman Maria Sablina came back from behind and won 2-6, 6-2, 6-4 and freshman Katie Wookey won 6-1, 6-3. The loss takes UNM to 5-3 on the year.

Seniors’ final game embodies collegiate career by Nathan Farmer
sports@dailylobo.com The three seniors on the men’s basketball team could not have thought of a better final game at The Pit. Senior forwards Drew Gordon and A.J. Hardeman and senior guard Phillip McDonald played their final home game in The Pit on Saturday. The Lobos beat Boise State 76-61 to give UNM a share of the MWC regular-season championship. After the game, all three were honored by the team as a majority of the sold-out Pit audience stayed around to applaud the players. All three players have been stars on the court and are slated to graduate this spring. Hardeman and McDonald embody why the Lobos have been so successful in the past four seasons. In the past four years, the Lobos won three of the four MWC regularseason championships. Hardeman and McDonald now have 98 career wins, tied for most in UNM history with Dairese Gary, who graduated last year. The pair has a chance to break that record when they face Air Force this Thursday in the MWC tournament. McDonald scored more than 1,100 points in his career at UNM to put him at No. 24 on the list of all-time scorers at the University. In his first three seasons, McDonald started nearly every game for UNM and was an integral scorer for the team. Before the season started, McDonald suffered an elbow injury and a sprained ankle, and freshman guard Hugh Greenwood came into the team and took his starting spot. Because of the early setbacks, he has only started in two games this year, but has played in 28. Head coach Steve Alford pointed out after the game that McDonald was a true team player and has never once complained about his lack of play time this year. He has come off the bench this year to add an offensive spark, scoring 173 points and going 42-97 from 3-point range. Unlike McDonald, Hardeman

This year was Hardeman’s worst for scoring in his career. He only averaged 4.8 points per game, but it’s no surprise that this year’s Lobos defense has been one of the best. This year the Lobos moved to outside shooting, taking 599 3-pointers so far, and Hardeman had to sacrifice his play on the offensive end to help the team. But
what he gives up on offense, he brings on the defensive end, the sign of a true team player. It is no doubt that Gordon is the Lobos’ best player. After playing two tumultuous years at UCLA, he transferred to UNM, and because of NCAA transfer rules he had to sit out until December of last year’s season. In just the past year and a half, Gordon has been a revelation for UNM, averaging a double-double. He has been named the MWC player of the year on five occasions and
two weeks ago was named a candidate for national player of the year by ESPN. On Saturday, he scored a careerhigh 30 points, breaking his former high of 27 with a 3-pointer with less than a minute left, the only one he has attempted this season. It’s no surprise that these three players are the reason behind UNM’s success this year, but Gordon has stepped it up when the team has been looking for a true leader. Alford said after the game that
two years ago UNM got to 30 wins. The team is currently six wins away from 30, and if it makes that tally, it means it will be playing in the Elite 8 of the NCAA tournament. These seniors are entering what is perhaps the most important two weeks of their basketball careers, and to win six more games is a lot to ask. But don’t count them out — if the Lobos can go that far, these seniors can write themselves into the history books of UNM basketball.

3-pointer of his career. Down 52-48 with 8:20 left in the game, the Lobos finished on a 28-9 run, scoring on 13 of their last 15 possessions. One of those buckets came from junior guard Tony Snell after a tough night on offense. His 3-pointer with 4:54 left in the second half in a 58-56 game put the Lobos up five — and the Broncos never responded. “The 3-pointer he made was a huge one,” Alford said. “He missed his first six and he kept shooting, which is what we need Tony to do.” Snell finished just 1-of-7 from the field for three points and seven assists. Seniors A.J. Hardeman and Phillip McDonald tied former teammate Dairese Gary in wins at UNM. The two are now 98-36 in their Lobo careers. Hardeman finished the game with four points and three rebounds. McDonald had two points. The Lobos (24-6, 10-4 MWC) finished the game shooting 54.2 percent from the field off of 26-of-48 shots. The Broncos (13-16, 3-11 MWC) made 20-of-46 shots for 40.8 percent and had three players in double-figures. Derrick Marks scored 17 points,

For the third time in four years, the men’s basketball team is the Mountain West regular-season champion. The Lobos beat Boise State 76-61 on senior day, in front of a sold out Pit. “I am very, very proud of (the players) because they had a lot of pressure on them, dating all the way back to October,” head coach Steve Alford said. “I think this is the first time in five years that the team who was picked to win it actually won it.” Both San Diego State and UNM finished with identical 10-4 record in the MWC and will share the MWC regular-season title. SDSU holds the tiebreaker and will take the No. 1 seed into the MWC tournament next week. The Lobos will be the No. 2 seed and will take on No. 7 Air Force in the first game. Senior forward Drew Gordon won his first conference title of his career in his last game as a Lobo. He put up 30 points and 12 rebounds, giving him his 15th double-double this season. “He has gone to a whole other level in the past week from a points standpoint,” Alford said. Gordon scored on 11-of15 shooting and made his only
