UNM requires 3-ply medical-grade masks indoors By Zara Roy @zarazzledazzle

The University of New Mexico is requiring a three-ply or better medical-grade mask when indoors, made effective Tuesday Jan. 17. This decision, which updated the previous mask policy that allowed cloth masks, was made in response to the recent surge of COVID-19 cases and the increased infectiousness of the omicron variant. According to UNM spokesperson Cinnamon Blair, Student Affairs will be distributing proper masks across campus for students struggling to source proper masks or otherwise do not currently have appropriate masks. Masks will be distributed in high-traffic classroom buildings on campus, as well as in the Student Union Building and Johnson Gym. “There will also be a group of student mask ambassadors in the common areas of those classroom buildings handing masks out to students that need them … Masks are also being distributed to the college/school dean offices for distribution to the departments on campus, and there will be some in the Provost’s Office as well,” Blair wrote to the Daily Lobo.

As with initial mask protocols, failure to adhere to the updated mask protocols may result in being asked to leave class, with a possibility of being dropped from the class as well as disciplinary action if failure to adhere occurs multiple times. Blair, however, does not anticipate any major adherence problems. “Quite honestly, we never had any problems with mask compliance that I know of. It’s basically

‘Prepared for the worst’: University faculty teach amid omicron surge By Zara Roy @zarazzledazzle As the state of New Mexico consistently breaks 3,000 new COVID-19 cases daily attributed to the new, highly infectious omicron variant, the University of New Mexico has no current plans to move to remote learning for the spring 2022 semester. Even as the school tightens up its COVID-19 protocols, many faculty members still feel apprehensive about the recent return to an in-person semester, which started on Tuesday. Meagan Vigus, a teaching associate in the linguistics department and member of the United Graduate Workers of UNM, said

her primary frustrations with the in-person return lie in the inadequate and chaotic communication between the University and its faculty, particularly in the recent announcement that UNM is requiring at least three-ply medical-grade masks indoors. “I think I actually got an email on the student side before I got an email as an instructor about the new mask requirements ... It’s a bit ridiculous, updating these requirements at the last minute and then not giving us materials that we need to do our job,” Vigus said. It will be much more expensive to continually replace these masks, a problem only worsened by the fact that graduate work-

the same process as our current mask requirements, because we just updated the definition of ‘proper mask-wearing,’” Blair said. This decision came in response to the dire infection rates attributed to the omicron variant. During a press conference on Jan. 12, Anthony Fauci, chief medical advisor to President Joe Biden, said that “virtually everybody”

The new Albuquerque Community Safety department began responding to emergency calls last September and acts as a nonlaw enforcement dispatch team that handles issues within the community, like mental health crises, that the police may not be trained to handle. After just over four months of operation, multiple community members are tentatively hopeful that this department will bring solutions to the city. Since ACS was created, the department has responded to over 1,500 calls, including 911 calls that get redirected to them and the 311 hotline that connects to them directly. “(There) is a huge need for us … (with) the amount of calls that go through that are not appropriate for police. A lot of these calls aren't crimes. A lot of it has to do with the homeless population or just individuals that need help, that don't need police assistance,” ACS Deputy

Director D’Albert Hall said. The department aims to hire people with social work or mental health-related field experience as well as knowledge of city resources. The department includes a variety of outreach teams with varied skill sets and response protocols to deal with many types of common community issues. The formation of the new department came after an increase in protests against police brutality in the community and nationwide following the death of George Floyd in the summer of 2020. Albuquerque has had the second-highest rate of fatal police shootings in cities with more than 500,000 people since 2015, according to the Guardian. Lisa Christopherson, a local activist, said she is a lot more hopeful about the department than she was previously and doesn’t see it as a political stunt, which she was originally worried about. However, she would like to see more community outreach and communication from the city about the department.

would eventually be exposed and likely infected by the omicron variant. Data shows, however, that those who are vaccinated and boosted are far less likely to exhibit symptoms. “As always, we are continuing to take a data-driven, evidencebased approach to mitigate the impact of COVID-19 on our campuses and across our community,” UNM President Garnett Stokes wrote in a President’s Weekly

Perspective email on Jan. 10. UNM has already mandated the booster shot for all students, staff and faculty. Those who were fully vaccinated on or before Oct. 15, 2021 must have uploaded proof of vaccination by Tuesday, Jan. 17. As of Sunday, Jan. 16, only 28.6% of the student population were confirmed to be boosted. Over half of faculty and staff confirmed that they received a booster shot. On Jan. 10, a record 30 confirmed

positive cases were reported to the COVID dashboard in a single day (although, notably, none of these cases reported coming to campus). Blair advised students to ensure a proper fit for their masks in addition to upgrading. UNM Newsroom published an article that can be found online that includes a tutorial by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention on how to improve the fit of a three-ply health-grade mask. “We’re following the science

Department as workers are being dispatched from the Albuquerque Fire Rescue department. However, ACS still interacts with APD in the field. As ACS remains unarmed, workers have the ability to call APD for backup if the situation they are responding to becomes dangerous. “We're instructed if we're ever in trouble, we're calling the police. We have links with that radio. So we do work together in that aspect, like we are out in the field together,” Hall said. The department has a budget of over $7.7 million in the current fiscal year 2022, compared to the just over $2 million in the FY21 budget. ACS also increased staff

from 13 full-time members to 61. As the department continues to grow, Hall said ACS aims to become more well-known in Albuquerque and build more relationships with community members. He said workers are “learning more about what we're doing and how we can do a better job of it.” “They’re in the hot seat. Everyone’s depending on them to be that solution that we’ve all been advocating for,” Smith said.

that talks about how these types of masks that we’re asking people to wear protect against those smaller aerosols better than a cloth mask,” Blair said. “If people want to wear their cloth masks over the required medical-grade, health-grade masks to enhance the fit, then they can wear it over it but they can’t wear it alone.” Blair said the University’s decision to require upgrades for the masks was, overall, in the inter-

est of keeping students safe while ensuring their educational experience is minimally compromised. “We want our students to be able to have that in-person experience and the way we can do that is (by) keeping our community safe,” Blair said.

“I'm much more hopeful now than I was a year ago … They're less threatening, so you're not in a hurry to resolve things,” Christopherson said. Cathryn McGill, founder and director of the New Mexico Black Leadership Council, said she is also hopeful and would like to see the department succeed. Still, she said its operation should be watched closely by the community. Community member and activist Zachariah Smith agreed that it is important to keep tabs on the dispatchers and how they are operating within the department. The department is separate from the Albuquerque Police

ers at the UNM are paid poverty wages, according to Vigus. Officials from the University told her via email correspondence that they would not be providing masks to faculty for daily use. Summer Hayek, a lecturer at UNM’s medical school, is torn between the health impact a major outbreak on campus would have and the extreme difficulty of teaching her courses remotely. “I’m more concerned with (stu-

dents) taking (COVID-19) home to their elderly relatives or people who can’t get vaccinated. I’m worried about it leading to a huge outbreak where the whole class has to cancel at the last minute,” Hayek said. “At the same time, pedagogically, I know my students learn better when they’re in person, and so it is really difficult and very time consuming to design assessments that can keep academic integrity levels high.”

Jeff Horwat, part-time associate professor of art education, started his first year teaching after spending two years teaching remotely at Indiana University South Bend. He is hopeful that the current COVID-19 protocols will be sufficient in assuring that his students will be able to do vital observations and field training. “Our fingers are crossed that local (K-12) schools will remain open so that our students can have those experiences. I think that’s a big concern for all kinds of teacher education programs,” Horwat said. Horwat said he is most worried about having to enforce COVID-19 protocols in person for the first time. “I’ve been teaching online. I never had to deal with that. I never had to enforce any of those policies or anything, and I don’t know what the kids at UNM are like — if they’re kind of on board with it, or am I going to have people testing that boundary?” Horwat said. One of Hayek’s courses has over 130 students, and she hopes the lecture hall will provide enough space for proper social distancing.

Lindsay Morrone, another linguistics teaching assistant and treasurer of the United Graduate Workers of UNM, said the University has failed to adequately address the needs of deaf and hard-of-hearing students in their recent mask upgrade mandate. “I have a student in my class who will need me to wear a window mask. So that’s an accommodation for, for example, deaf and hard-of-hearing students, and I just heard today from the deaf and hard-of-hearing student services that they were not told about this mask requirement by UNM in advance, so they were left scrambling to get us the appropriate masks right now,” Morrone said. The masks that were previously purchased for instructors with deaf and hard-of-hearing students did not meet the University’s new standards, according to Morrone. They are currently being offered single-use window masks and being advised to reuse them in order to stretch them out over the first two weeks, as the window masks they need are currently incredibly difficult to source. As a teaching assistant, Vigus has no control over whether the

classes she is assigned to teach are remote or not, and she said the only guidance instructors have been given on what to do if they become infected is that they are “allowed to teach remotely for two weeks, while we have COVID.” Some faculty members in her department have already been pushing for the provost to allow them to move to remote learning until the expected infection peak in February, according to Hayek. “I have students who don’t want to come back, and it’s hard. I understand where they’re coming from but I don’t have the resources to teach 130 students … both in person and remotely,” Hayek said. Hayek said she has already been making adjustments to the course to make a potential move online easier. “The sense is everybody is cautiously optimistic it’ll be okay, but prepared for the worst,” Horwat said.

LOBO OPINION

The Independent Student Voice of UNM since 1895

Tuesday, January 18, 2022

Opinion Editor / opinion@dailylobo.com

QUESTION: What are you bringing to the new year?

ANSWER: With a new year and new semester often comes new goals, habits and more. However, the Daily Lobo editors are looking back on our past and deciding what we want to keep with us as we move forward. Here’s a glance at some of our favorite things, whether it’s film, television, music, books or sports, for you to peruse. Megan’s pick: SHOW: “Star Trek” created by Gene Roddenberry At a time when you often feel like you need an escape, you can find one from the living room of your own home in the “Star Trek” universe. Ranked as one of the most culturally influential shows of all time, “Star Trek” was groundbreaking when it came out in the ’60s and continued to make more shows after its original series with timeless themes that easily enrapture the viewer. As a newer “Star Trek” fan, I recommend starting with “Next Generation” and making your way through some of the newer shows before watching the classic original series. “Star Trek” has allowed me to find comfort amid a chaotic pandemic and has also taught me countless lessons while showing me new perspectives. Although the show started as a slow-burn type of love for me, I came to a point where I didn’t even realize I’ve never looked back. John’s pick: MUSIC: “CRAWLER” by IDLES Now, en face, a post-punk rock album that deals heavily with themes of addiction and loss may not seem like the best thing to get you through hard times, but there’s something truly beautiful throughout all of the blown-out guitars and screaming vocals of “CRAWLER” by IDLES. IDLES is a band whose message solely relies on seeing the beauty in life and persevering, and this album is truly the epitome of that message. Like lead singer Joe Talbot belts out on the final track, “In spite of it all, life is beautiful.” Joseph’s pick: MUSIC: “Reflektor” by Arcade Fire Over winter break, I found my-

self reminiscing on music from the past decade and, as I did, I stumbled across a long-forgotten favorite album of mine, Arcade Fire’s 2013 “Reflektor.” Arcade Fire’s sound has always been big, but on “Reflektor,” their sound shifted. It’s developed and upbeat. It’s messy, wild and caffeinated, but cool like a Montreal coffee shop. Layered rhythms, bits of sharp unhinged guitar riffs and hidden sections of horn blend with lead singer Win Butler’s smooth yet raw vocals. “Reflektor” is an intense artistic album, in one of the best ways possible. It makes me want to throw on my Doc Martens, smoke a cigarette and take some posed pictures for my Tumblr. How this album ever fell off my radar I may never know … But what I do know is the power, angst and talent that is the album “Reflektor.” My favorites off the album are “We Exist,” “Joan of Arc” and “Porno.” Liam’s pick: MUSIC: “Can’t Cool Me Down” by Car Seat Headrest I would not consider myself an avid alternative indie fan. That said, I simply cannot overstate how impressive Car Seat Headrest has been in influencing my musical taste. The polished sound of albums like “Teens of Denial” and “Twin Fantasy (Face to Face)” are some of my favorite albums of all time. In 2020, Car Seat Headrest released their latest album “Making a Door Less Open,” in which the band seemingly managed to recapture the grungy self-produced atmosphere of their earlier work while still maintaining enough melody to tap your foot to. “Can’t Cool Me Down,” an enigmatic song from the album, proves to be the ideal showcase of the band. Lead singer Will Toledo is a master of stream-of-consciousness lyrics and the song paints a frenzied picture with lines like “Say, there’s a hole in the ceiling / Everything but me and it has got no feeling / Smoke is pouring out the bed / I crawl like an animal to ya.” So if you’re looking for an unorthodox, slightly-chaotic song to dance to during the semester, “Can’t Cool Me Down” is definitely worth a listen.

Shelby’s pick: MOVIE: “Encanto” directed by Jared Bush and Byron Howard One of the most endearing films I watched in 2021 was the newest feature from Walt Disney Animation Studios, “Encanto.” I watched this film in theaters at the behest of my younger brother and, from the short film “Far From the Tree” that played before the movie to the vividly colorful credits, I was truly enraptured. I know that not everyone is a fan of Lin-Manuel Miranda, but his talent in writing the lineup of original songs in this film is undeniable. They are fun, memorable and each one contributes to the beautiful love letter to Colombian culture that this film is. Watching the Madrigal family tackle themes of generational trauma, the weight put on eldest siblings and being a black sheep of the family provided a surprisingly cathartic experience. I know that I will be rewatching it multiple times this year, and listening to the soundtrack even more. Zara’s pick: MUSIC: “... Off the Bone” by The Cramps Though much can be said of The Cramps’ revolutionary sound and pioneering role as one of the original punk groups and an early mover in the more niche psychobilly genre, I personally like them most for their ability to make me feel like I’m in a cheesy ’80s horror movie, which is why my pick is “...

world around her, the candied metaphors and indulgent fantasies make the complex, somewhat dark subject matters bearable and entertaining. “Chocolat” is a quick read with enough substance to remind me why I need to calm down and try to be moral. The smooth, bittersweet story is always pleasant to return to and I’m confident it’ll keep me anchored throughout the sure-to-be tumultuous first week of school. Matt’s pick: SPORTS: UNM women’s basketball The Lobos women’s basketball program is one of the most dynamic and fun-to-watch basketball teams in the country. After returning their entire starting lineup from last year, UNM is dominating conference play, currently undefeated at The Pit and potentially on their way to the National Collegiate Athletic Association tournament. It’s not just their stellar record that makes these Lobos such a joy to cover. Mike Bradbury’s squad plays a brand of basketball that is the best of both the past and the future of the sport. They show up near the top nationally in a plethora of offensive statistics and have a genuinely exciting offensive show. You never know who might explode for seven threes or sink a tough game-winning three. The Lobos lead the Mountain West conference in women’s basketball attendance by a lot, but for such a successful team on the cutting edge of women’s basketball, many more funs should show up. Mackenzie’s pick: MUSIC: “The Good Life” by Devon Gilfillian Two years ago, “The Good Life” by Devon Gilfillian came out and rightfully reached No. 5 on the Billboard Adult Alternative Song chart in 2020. This song is filled with an uplifting beat that will easily calm your nerves and relax, and the enlightening lyrics can quickly brighten your mood. Gilfillian’s style with the song is a soulsoothing tune. Whenever I’m doing homework or work, this song truly helps me focus, relax and realize that this is the good life.

New cafe, plant nursery brews love for coffee, plants By Maddie Pukite

@madelinepukite Power Plant, a new cafe and plant nursery, opened its doors to the Albuquerque community on Saturday, Jan. 15. With a large emphasis on collaborating with artists, the shop aims to become a local hub for young artists to gather and show art. The space is co-operated by Tytianna Harris and Juan Jimenez. They strive to continue having a studio space in the shop that artists can rent to showcase their art, similar to how the space was used before Power Plant started up. “We've had, actually, photographers, videographers or different business owners who just come in and use it like a photo studio,” Harris said. Jimenez hopes the shop will become a place for younger artists specifically to learn and grow because they are a group that can sometimes be closed out of differ-

ent art spaces while still new and still growing. “I'm very, very grateful for this space and I'm just excited to just create a new hub for the community, for the younger people. That's what I'm mainly focused on, whether it's having them showcase their art or whatever it is … I think that youth is obviously the future,” Jimenez said. The cafe serves juice from Harris’ juicing company, Untitled Juice Bar, along with coffee developed organically. Harris has a background in food, and saw a need for healthy food and its accessibility as a Navajo woman. This inspired her to create Untitled Juice Bar, which she is hoping to some day expand to the part of the reservation where her family is from. “There's a need for not only good education, but also just access to clean healthy foods. So, you know, in my background with food, and just being a creative person, I really want to bridge that … (I) just (want to) do something that is more attainable for

my community,” Harris said. Jimenez, a self-described “avid collector of plants,” is the force behind the plant nursery at the cafe. They saw a big market selling them, particularly with young people. Jimenez called the intersection of coffee and plants “its own little scene.” “It all kind of just started with plants … I've always been super into that, just bringing nature inside, and then not only that, but also just nurturing something else that isn’t yourself and just kind of slowing down a little bit,” Jimenez said. Power Plant is available to be rented out and the owners hope to host more art installations, live music and events. Harris said she feels like Albuquerque is evolving and changing with new businesses opening up and is “excited for all of the opportunities and growth.” “We're just young entrepreneurs pursuing our different visions. I just tried to make Albuquerque a more fun, better place — you know, just

trying to build community and creating these really cool communal spaces that we feel are necessary,” Harris said.

REVIEW

‘The Tragedy of Macbeth’ is a beautifully minimal take on Shakespeare’s classic play By John Scott @JScott050901 This review contains spoilers

“Macbeth” has been done a thousand times over, both on stage and on film. You may know it for its timeless story of ruthless ambition or you may know it as that Scottish play you had to read

for your high school English class. Either way, Shakespeare’s play has had some staying power and “The Tragedy of Macbeth” is only another testament to the English playwright’s genius.

The film, having just been released on Apple TV+ on Friday, Jan. 14 after a limited theatrical run, follows — you guessed it — Macbeth and his bloody journey to become king of Scotland

prompted by a strange encounter with a trio of witches. Joel Coen, directing without his brother Ethan for the first time in

REVIEW

‘Red Rocket’ is a raucous romp By Zara Roy

@zarazzledazzle This review contains spoilers Sean Baker’s newest film “Red Rocket” is a solid addition to his catalog of endearing, embodied tributes to the lives of marginalized groups in America. Released for limited theatrical release on Dec. 10, “Red Rocket” tells the story of Mikey, a charming, egoistic former porn star, as he wedges his way back into the home of his estranged wife and proceeds to wreak havoc in such a way that only a cisgender, heterosexual white man who has never been told “no” in his life could ever accomplish. “Red Rocket” follows Mikey (Simon Rex) as he sometimes charms and sometimes weasels his way back into his “old life” in Texas, before he moved to California some years ago. His potential reconciliation with his wife Lexi (Bree Elrod) and return to normalcy is stifled, however, when he meets Strawberry (Suzanna Son), a bubbly 17-year-old who he attempts to seduce (gross!). This film evokes the community that Mikey attempts to work into in a way that feels nuanced and unpa-

tronizing. Lexi is sympathetic while still having real flaws, and the film doesn’t trap her into a perfect-victim narrative where she must silently submit to Mikey’s, at best, sleazy and, at worst, abusive behavior. That being said, Mikey is a reprehensible human being. The film actively acknowledges it; everyone around him is unimpressed by his braggadocious manner and the

ways in which he has coasted off women for personal gain in and out of his career. As the movie explores his filth, his behavior spirals to be progressively more horrendous as the film goes on. Though I found myself cringing through large portions of the movie, the funny screenplay and grounded, realistic performances kept me from storming out in rage.

A big talking point of this movie is the depiction of Mikey’s grooming of 17-year-old Strawberry. I think much of this discussion is also influenced by the screenplay’s refusal to flatten the experiences of victims. Though Strawberry is shown as a “willing” party in the relationship, and the sex scenes were admittedly a bit much at times, that didn’t take away from her story or the stark fact that a

grown man was taking advantage of a young girl’s sexual naivete. The tail-end of the movie was a weak point for me. In an effort to solidify Mikey as the worst guy — for the record, I didn’t need any more convincing by that point — the plot accelerates at a ridiculous pace and leaves much to be desired in terms of development. I think I understand that screenwriters Baker and Chris Bergoch were trying to disrupt what was a very rhythmic and steady storyline, but the ending simply did not work for me. The rapid acceleration of the plot was even more annoying when considering that the last five minutes of the movie were basically just long-takes of Mikey walking. Overall, what made this movie stand out for me was Baker’s distinctive ability to portray those on the margins with tremendous empathy. Though he has all the makings of a prototypical white-collar New York University film dude who intrudes on the lives of people they deem as lesser in the name of “cinema verité,” Baker doesn’t seem to fall victim to that trap. Even through Mikey’s warped mirror, the audience can still glance at the reflection of a small community finding beauty and compassion through turmoil. Zara Roy is the news editor at the Daily Lobo.

TUESDAY, JANUARY 18, 2022 / PAGE 7

his nearly 40-year career, stays remarkably faithful to Shakespeare’s original vision. So for those of you who hated the play in high school for being completely unintelligible, you may not find much solace here. Despite this, “The Tragedy of Macbeth” feels surprisingly refreshing in its faithful interpretation. The play is as exciting and attentiongrabbing as ever, even if I could only make out what any given character was saying about 50% of the time. The dialogue is assisted heavily by some brilliant performances from Denzel Washington as the titular Macbeth and Frances McDormand as the manipulative and scheming Lady Macbeth. Washington commands the film through every floating dagger and ghostly banquet guest, with McDormand bringing her typical strength and assuredness to what is arguably the strongest character in the

whole play. One small deviation Coen makes from the original would be in the slight expansion of the character of Ross, played somewhat strangely and ineffectively by Alex Hassell. The additions are largely just as ineffective as Hassell’s performance; they seem to patch some plot holes that Coen saw with the original play, such as where Fleance goes when he escapes the murderers sent by Macbeth, but this neither adds nor takes away from the film. Speaking of floating daggers, though, Coen does a brilliant job of grounding more of the fantastical elements present in the play while still retaining that ominous and spiritual feeling present within the images. A great example of this is the scene where Macbeth famously sees a floating dagger coming toward him before he goes to murder King Duncan. We first see the dag-

ger from afar, but as we slowly inch closer and closer, we see it is no dagger at all but merely a door handle. It makes the audience feel as if we, too, are seeing things. The genius of the floating dagger scene also comes in large part to Stefan Dechant’s wonderfully minimal production design. The sets throughout the film look far more like sets you’d see in a stage production of “Macbeth” rather than a film adaptation with most actively revealing and acknowledging that they are, in fact, sets and not actually a castle or dense forest. The production design is complimented elegantly by frequent Coen collaborator Bruno Delbonnel’s stunning black-and-white cinematography and a hauntingly bare score from Carter Burwell. All of these different elements come together to form an authentic yet still unique interpretation of

the Shakespeare classic, for this tale was told by no idiot and certainly signifies Coen as a truly fantastic director independent of his brother. Let’s just hope Coen’s ambitions don’t get the best of him.

Spirit Program competes in nationals All-girl cheer ranks sixth in finals

By Megan Gleason @fabflutist2716 The University of New Mexico Spirit Program traveled to Walt Dis-

ney World in Orlando, Florida to compete against cheer and dance teams from around the nation at the 2022 UCA & UDA College National Championship, which took place from Jan. 14-16. At nationals, UNM’s all-girl cheer

team ranked fifth out of 10 teams with an event score of 91.4833 in the All-Girl Division 1A Game Day category. They placed last at sixth in the finals with an overall score of 87.05. Meanwhile, coed cheer ranked 15th out of 17 teams under their

NEW MEXICO DAILY LOBO Division 1A Game Day category, achieving an event score of 82.6667. In the Small Coed Division 1A category, coed cheer ranked No. 10 out of 11 with an event score of 65.55. They had the highest amount of deducted points in the division with 12.25 deducted from their raw score of 77.8. Dance ranked No. 21 out of 22 teams in their respective Division 1A Game Day category with an overall score of 79.8667. They also ranked last in Division 1A Jazz at No. 28 with an event score of 82.7826. Although dance didn’t make finals, coach Stepanie Reyes wrote to the Daily Lobo that the girls watched the teams that did and they felt “really inspired and can’t wait to get home and prepare for next year.” “It’s just been an honor to work with each of them, and to see their dedication and their drive. They work so hard, and they go through so much to get here, and it’s physically and mentally taxing and demanding,” coach Robbie Rodriguez said. The decision to send the Spirit Program to nationals was a conversation had before the season even started in July, according to Rodriguez. Once the coaches knew the teams were dedicated enough to attend, they started prepping. “UCA & UDA College Spirit Camps have a proven reputation

of helping teams at all skill levels develop positive fan behavior and good sportsmanship practices for Game Day, while practicing safe but innovative, crowd-oriented material,” the press release for the event read. This year, the Spirit Program practices have been following strict COVID-19 precautionary measures with masks required at all times when indoors as well as COVID tests required after school breaks. The team upheld the same safety standards that UNM requires while on their Florida trip as well. “We have talked to our athletes at length about, ‘Yes, we’re going to a state where their restrictions are not the same as ours, but we are still representing New Mexico and we are representing our university and we are still going to hold ourselves to that standard whether we’re in New Mexico or not,’” Rodriguez said. The Spirit Program will continue performing for the rest of the basketball season and are looking forward to their biggest promotional event, the UNM Spirit Invitational, on Saturday, Jan. 29.

Men’s basketball sunk by rebounding troubles against Boise State By Matthew Salcido @baggyeyedguy The University of New Mexico men’s basketball team lost to Boise State University 71-63 at The Pit on Saturday, Jan. 15. UNM remains without a conference win after four games. Head coach Richard Pitino, who was back on the sideline for the first time since contracting COVID-19, made it clear why UNM lost. “They are bigger, they are stronger (and) they are older for sure,” Pitino said. “But we have to be scrappier, dirtier and meaner, especially when

you are as undermanned as we are.” Where the Lobos are undermanned is at the center position, and they more than likely will be for the remainder of their season. Since the start of the 2021-22 season, UNM has lost Valdir Manuel, Gethro Muscadin and Emmanuel Kuac, all inside presences expected to play the majority of minutes at center. This has left Pitino with freshman centers Sebastian Forsling and Birima Seck, both of whom Pitino has said might have redshirted, and Jay Allen-Tovar, who is undersized to be playing center. This would be a tough situation for UNM against any team, but especially

so against Boise State, the 15th-tallest team in the country in average height, according to KenPom. Predictably, UNM got destroyed in the offensive rebounding battle 25-3, a stat Forsling talked about after the game. “I need to take more responsibility as well,” Forsling said. “At the end of the day, I can’t let a guy have 10 offensive rebounds. It’s just (about) being tougher than the opponent.” While UNM was basically unable to rebound against Boise State, they were able to mitigate the problem with scrambling team defense and active hands.

8 least one block, and Allen-Tovar had three. Boise State was often forced to work deep into the shot clock and had two shot clock violations in the first half. Another damning disparity for the Lobos was in personal fouls, where they amassed 28 to Boise State’s 13. Some of that difference was because the Lobos were forced to foul at the end of the game to buy themselves time to try and cut the lead. Even if we were to discount the last three minutes of regulation, UNM still had more fouls (19-10) and had to play much of the second half with Boise State in the bonus. In the first half, it was Allen-Tovar who kept UNM going in the scoring department with eight points, though UNM still posted their lowest point total for a half this season (22). Jamal Mashburn Jr. shot a lessthan-stellar 4-12 from the field for 10 points before fouling out late in

the game. Jaelen House came on late after struggling early in the game, scoring 14 of his 21 points in the last five minutes, as did K.J. Jenkins, who made his last four shots to finish shooting 5-11 from the field. The good news for UNM is that, now having faced the best rebounding team in the Mountain West Conference, they may have put their biggest demon behind them, though Lobos fans shouldn’t expect the rebounding woes to disappear. UNM plays two away games next week: one at Colorado State University on Wednesday, Jan. 19, where they will face one of the nation’s top players, David Roddy, and the other at the University of Wyoming on Saturday, Jan. 22.
