Stokes talks safety, athletics in State of University speech By Justin Garcia @just516garc
SUB — As University of New Mexico President Garnett Stokes launched into her State of the University address, she did so with dramatic context. “In our country, and even here in New Mexico, we are experiencing a crisis of confidence in higher education and its value,” Stokes said. She cited national polls and surveys — like a 2018 Pew Research survey that found six in ten Americans believed higher education was going in the wrong direction — as evidence of public skepticism that college isn't worth it. Those people, Stokes told dozens of administrators, faculty, staff, students and reporters, were wrong. “I think those surveys reflect an unfair cynicism about higher education, one we must work to overcome,” Stokes said. “Higher education, including research and innovation, has never been more necessary to better understand and improve the world in which we live.” In her second State of the University address, Stokes spoke about campus safety, the Athletics Department, various campus construction projects and administrative turnover, in addition to
acknowledging and highlighting student and faculty success. All of which she spoke to in a “crisis of confidence” context. Stokes is firmly entrenched as UNM’s president, two years into a five-year, $400,000/year contract. Her short tenure has seen a number of monumental changes, many of which have their origins in a previous presidents’ tenure. “I’m actually starting to feel less like the newest cast member of an established ensemble,” she said in her speech. Safety Among the biggest challenges facing UNM, the safety of staff, faculty and students was one that Stokes has promised to improve from the beginning of her presidency in 2017. In 2015, the US Department of Justice (DOJ) began a three-year oversight of UNM after a series of high-profile sexual assaults and a year-long DOJ investigation into the University’s handling of sexual assault investigations. “In interview after interview, UNM students expressed reluctance to report sexual assault to UNM because they feared retaliation or because they lacked confidence in the University’s response,” the 2016 DOJ’s report read. Late in 2019, UNM was released from that oversight after the DOJ said the school had “funneled new
resources into campus training, investigation and advocacy regarding sexual assault.” Despite that, UNM’s annual safety report said 24 people reported being raped while on main campus in 2018, the highest in five years. UNM officials attribute that increased number to increased awareness of reporting resources. In short, in spite of the increased amount of reported sexual assaults, UNM sees progress. “As a result, our investigations into sexual misconduct are stronger, more proactive and more transparent than ever ... and it must be reflected in everything we do,” Stokes said. She said that going forward, she would “formalize and institutionalize all the work we’ve been doing for the past three years, smooth out remaining bumps and serve as a model for other institutions across the country.” Otherwise, the president touted a 40% decrease in auto thefts on UNM property. She attributed the decrease — from record high numbers in 2018 — to additional police officers, more security cameras in parking lots and increased coordination with the Albuquerque Police Department. Athletics Stokes described the athletics program at UNM as a critical part of the University experience.
Netflix star talks about his Baha’i faith By Bianca Hoops @bianca_hoops Penn Badgley, star of the Netflix series “You,” spoke at the Student Union Building Wednesday night about his faith in the Baha’i religion. The University of New Mexico Baha’i Association along with a variety of volunteers put together the event to draw in students to learn about the teachings of the Baha’i. Badgley was asked to come through a mutual friend of Stephen Morris, the President of the UNM Baha’i Association. He was not compensated for speaking at the event. The goal of the talk, the first in
their spring series, was to get someone significant to speak about the religion to get students interested in Baha’i, Morris said. “The turnout we’ve had for our talks throughout the first semester had been low and we thought maybe we would get someone famous who is Baha’i,” Morris said. Badgley was welcomed with over 900 people, with standing room only after the chairs were filled. The line for the 7 p.m. free event started about four hours earlier. About 400 people were denied from entering after the SUB ballrooms filled up. During the talk, Badgley described his process from his early twenties when he started acting on

the television series “Gossip Girl” and how he wanted to pursue more in life. Originally Badgley said he had no interest in practicing any religion until he found Baha’i. “I began this path of intense spiritual search. I investigated a lot of different philosophies and systems and religions. I was never interested in religion actually at all,” Badgley said. Badgley stayed with a native tribe within Columbia called the Kogi tribe and met a Baha’i during his time with them. From that point, he eventually started to follow the path as a Baha’i. “One of the things that we do as Baha’i is engage in gatherings we call meaningful conversations and we’ll study the Baha’i teachings. We engage in this process of community building,” Badgley said. Badgley turned to the crowd to answer any questions once he talked briefly about his experience. “I can’t stress enough how much I believe in this as a meaningful course of action, but it’s not one everyone is going to take,” Badgley said after asked what he hopes for people to take away from his talk. Athena Cholas, 45, has been practicing the Baha’i faith her entire life and volunteered at the event. She said she was interested to hear about Badgley’s transition. “It’s to really find out how he made that jump from the materialistic world to now focusing his

President Garnett Stokes held the second State of the University address on Thursday, Jan. 25.
“Lobo Athletics has the power to anchor us to the community, bring people together who may otherwise never connect and provide opportunities not available anywhere else,” Stokes said. While Stokes’ spent just under two minutes of her 45-minute speech on sports, the happenings in the Athletics Department dominated the news cycle during Stokes’ presidential tenure. Stokes approved a recommendation by UNM Athletics Director Eddie Nunez to cut four sports from the department to improve the budget outlook and
better comply with Title IX regulations, according to Athletics. The decision was met with community backlash at several UNM Board of Regents meetings in 2018. Despite the backlash, the decision stuck and the four sports, including the popular men’s soccer program, remained cut. In her speech, Stokes highlighted successes in the department, such as runner Weini Kelati, and emphasized unity. “It’s larger than any single player, coach or sport, and it’s never

History professor hired to paint mural on history of IT in NM By Daniel Ward
@wordsofward34 Information technology (IT) is a large component to the development of our future, but the perseverance and understanding of its history is equally important for societal improvement. University of New Mexico History Professor Taylor Spence is helping to share the connection between IT and History through his mural “Can You Hear I.T.?” The mural project first started taking root in the summer, 2019 when Associate Provost Pamela Cheek recommended Spence as a prime candidate to paint a mural for the IT department. “I knew that Dr. Spence had been a professional muralist prior to arriving at UNM and that his work as a historian and teacher gave him insight into the UNM community,” Cheek said. Cheek said that Spence was immediately interested upon hearing about the project and reached out to the IT department right away. However, the IT department didn’t like his first proposal, saying the context was darker than they were looking for. “I think they were just really un-
comfortable with the darkness of it,” Spence said. “But what I realize is that when you’re a historian, you spend a lot of time with darkness.” He added, “As an artist I’m really comfortable with that, but I have to understand that other people aren’t.” At first, Spence said he struggled to find common ground with creating a mural plan that he and the IT department could agree on. He said they saw technology as liberating and a solution to most world problems, but Spence was more pessimistic about it because of the ways it has hurt people in the past. It all came down to how well Spence knew the people working within IT. He decided to get to know the people in the building. He said he wanted to express the messages the IT department wanted to preserve while still highlighting the historical perspective he thought critical to include. “We are so inspired by what we’re doing here, and to have this mural represents. That is just an amazing opportunity. To have the artist put that into his own projection of what we’re doing is just key,” Chief Information Officer Duane Arruti said. The mural is designed to be about the indigenous origins of IT here in New Mexico. It is going

NMSU’s Kappa Sigma suspended after student shot By Alanna Herrera NMSU Round Up
LAS CRUCES — A New Mexico State University student who pledged the Kappa Sigma fraternity chapter was shot in the leg on Nov. 9, 2019 during a fraternity camping event according to police records. Kappa Sigma has evidently been removed from NMSU Greek Life pages, and all social media has remained seemingly untouched since Sept. 2019. According to the Otero County Sheriff’s Office police records, the victim was identified as NMSU student Jonathan Sillas. Sillas, known as JJ, said he was pulled aside at Kappa Sigma’s fraternity initiation where a gun was pointed at him — a gun he was told wasn’t loaded. “He put the gun to my leg or whatever and then he pulled the trigger and he didn’t think it was loaded at all, like the gun wasn’t loaded,” the police report read. “[I] moved once he pulled it and it just went like clean through my leg.” The report identified Miguel (JR) Altamirano, an active member of Kappa Sigma, as the alleged shooter. Altamirano told police he just pulled the gun on Sillas to “mess with him.” “I really do like JJ so my intention was not to ever physically harm him,” the report stated. “He was one of the ones that stuck out to me and so I never intended to, it was never my intention to...my intention was to never physically harm him.” Altamirano admitted that the incident was hazing, according to the police report. “JR was asked if this was a hazing to which he stated, ‘yeah that’s the only way to put it, it was meant to just kind of just scare him, mess with him, it was never meant to harm him,’”
the report reads. Prior to this incident, NMSU recognized the Kappa Sigma chapter as a member of the inter-fraternity council (IFC.) The IFC bylaws define hazing as: “Any actions, behavior and situations created by any chapter or by any member – pledge, active, or alumnus – as a part of the operations of any chapter voluntarily or involuntarily involving any member(s) or potential member(s) to produce or result in mental or physical discomfort, embarrassment, harassment, or ridicule as a prerequisite to or as a requirement for membership or initiation to their fraternity, or which otherwise prohibited by federal, state, provincial, local or host institution policies, rules, regulations, statutes or ordinances.” The bylaws also state that hazing is “contrary to the principles and teachings of Greek Life.” “Guns” or “firearms” are not specified in the IFC bylaws. This incident seems to be the most recent reported hazing case in New Mexico. The last major fraternity hazings occured at the University of New Mexico in 2017 that brought all 22 UNM fraternities and sororities to a halt. Altamirano was charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, a fourth degree felony as well as negligent use of a firearm while under the influence of an intoxicant or narcotic, a petty misdemeanor. A court hearing is pending a date. JJ’s Story “I was like okay, what’s the worst that could happen — they’re just gonna spank me with a paddle or something like that, that’s what I was thinking in my head,” Sillas told The Round Up about the night he was shot. Sillas said the night began when pledges carpooled from a lodge in Cloudcroft to a nearby campground, where they anticipated learning about
Kappa Sigma before initiation. “Everyone would get called one by one to hike the mountain and we were supposed to go through 11 fires and like they’re all gates, and we’ll go through the gates and once we get to the 12th gate, like the 12th gate is supposed to be here at the school where we get actually initiated,” Sillas said. At each fire, Sillas said they would learn something about Kappa Sigma, and at one of them they were given an egg. “What we were supposed to do with the egg is whenever we were like walking through the woods, there’s this one part where the person who shot me was at and he has like a little flashlight on his head,” Sillas said. “It’s really bright whenever he turns it on so he asked us questions about like Kappa Sigma, and there’s two dudes hiding in all black and stuff like that, and if we get it [a question] wrong he flashes the light in our eyes and they try and tackle us.” Sillas said he didn’t get tackled because he dropped his egg on accident. Sillas noted he didn’t consider the tackling hazing just “rough-housing.” Sillas said at the last fire, at least 60 members joined them while things were wrapping up and the students were advised to head home to rest, but he was told to step aside. “He [Altamirano] told me to turn around and I said no, I thought he had a paddle or something like that. I heard him unzip his bag while I was turned around, and I was like ‘oh God,’ and then he pulled out the gun and he cocked it back, like I didn’t know it was a gun, and then he cocked it back and I was like ‘oh shit,’ and then I started freaking out right there, I was like no I don’t mess with guns and stuff like that in that way,” Sillas said. “He was like just turn around, it’s not even loaded, don’t be scared, and I was like dude, no I’m not gonna do it, and he said just
about everyone else did it, and I was like I don’t care if everyone else did it, I’m not everyone else. “I didn’t expect the gun to be loaded, but still I treat every gun like it is loaded, and he put it on my leg, and he like grabbed my arm and he was like sort of pulling me towards him, and I was like no, and right whenever he put it on my leg, like he put it on my back of the leg like on my butt sort of, and I turned towards him, and he pulled the trigger and then I just remember– like I just felt like my leg just got dead-legged, so I was thinking there was a blank or something in there and it just like hit my leg pretty hard,” Sillas said. “Then there was smoke coming out of my leg, so I started freaking out right there that and I pulled my shorts and stuff down and saw that I had a hole in my leg.” Sillas said he did expect light hazing heading into the event, “if it’s just rough-housing, I’m not gonna snitch them out for rough-housing, but if there’s a gun — that’s over the top right there.” Sillas said he’d heard some other pledges had the gun pointed at them, “I’m sure that everyone who got tackled got the gun put on their leg while they were being tackled, but I’m not sure how that went.” As for how NMSU handled the situation, Sillas said administration should have taken further action. “It’s not like the school made a big announcement about it, it’s not like they contacted all the fraternities or sororities, to tell them we [NMSU] is going to start cracking down on hazing, it’s not like they’ve done that,” Sillas said. “They’ve suspended the chapter, once that happened- I know it got removed off of campus.” Sillas said Altamirano was suspended from NMSU for five years. Sillas did say, however, that NMSU accommodated his injury well and ensured
he got to class easily, even writing off a parking ticket he received while still on crutches. Sillas said in the future, he hopes the university becomes more aware of dangerous situations. “I’d like [NMSU] to explain what happened, and that they’re gonna start cracking down on [Greek Life]. The thing is, the school should know what they’re doing, at all times, it’s a school entity,” Sillas said. “I just think, ‘why didn’t they know we were going to Cloudcroft.’ You’d think that the school would know that we’re going to Cloudcroft– and they need, honestly, they gotta have a supervisor. I get we’re grown adults, but we’re still kids- like I got shot.” Sillas said he hopes his story will encourage stricter hazing and guncontrol rules. “I hope people aren’t just, like blowing over it [the situation], I really want the school to crack down on hazing, plus gun-control is just getting crazy now,” Sillas said. “Literally anyone could get a gun. The thing is, they need to do more background checks, they need to be doing other stuff too.” According to Sillas, the National Kappa Sigma Chapter insurance won’t pay out if the incident violated the chapter rules. “Kappa Sigma can’t help me unless it’s not hazing, but I feel like it benefits me, because if everyone is lying and saying they didn’t have the gun put on them and no one knew about it until I got shot, that helps me because its more of like an intentional act, and they [Kappa Sigma] will cover it,” Sillas said. The Kappa Sigma headquarters did not respond to comment about the incident. Abby Howard, NMSU’s Greek Life adviser, was unable to comment when The Round Up reached out, and the Dean of Students, Ann Goodman was unavailable.

‘Once Upon a Time in Hollywood’ offers a hard to follow alternate history By Makayla Grijalva @MakaylaEliboria Quintin Tarantino’s ninth film, “Once Upon a Time In Hollywood,” bent time while retelling the Manson family murders of 1960s starlet Sharon Tate and company. However, the lack of narrative caused the film to fall flat among others in the director’s repertoire. The film follows fading western star, Rick Dalton (Leonardo DiCaprio) and his stunt man, Cliff Booth (Brad Pitt) as they try to navigate this new-fangled Hollywood. Dalton lives in the Hollywood Hills on the infamous Cielo Drive next to Director Roman Polanski and rising star Tate. True crime buffs will recognize the Tate and Polanski residence as the location of the gruesome 1969 murders of Tate as well as four others by the Manson family. Those familiar with the Manson family and the respective Aug. 9, 1969 murders will also notice the Manson family narrative sprinkled throughout the movie — Spahn Ranch, Tex Watson and of course, Charles Manson himself, referenced in the film as Charlie. Tarantino relies far too heavily on public knowledge of the high-profile slayings to drive the narrative of the film. Since he considers the murders and details surrounding them common knowledge, without that knowledge there is seemingly
no cinematic tension, what Tarantino is famous for. Without recognizing these Manson family tidbits, the average viewer will quickly become bored with the film and confused by the star-power playing seemingly meaningless roles, such as Margot Robbie’s Tate or Dakota Fanning’s Squeaky. That being said, both DiCaprio and Pitt offer Oscar-worthy performances, possibly because their lead characters are in similar career positions they are finding themselves in today. The true star of the show is Booth’s ferociously obedient and loving pitbull, Brandy — played by Sayuri the pitbull. She offers arguably the best and most complex performance in the entire film. “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” would not be a Tarantino film without a few easter eggs scattered throughout the work. The pseudo-true-story was colored by a slew of references to 1960s Hollywood, from Bruce Lee and Steve McQueen to members of the Mama’s and the Papa’s. Tarantino also references his own movies such as “Inglourious Basterds.” My personal favorite reference in the movie lays in the namesake of the film. “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” is a reference to the 1968 spaghetti Western, and a personal favorite of my father’s, “Once Upon a Time in the West.” Not only does the title foreshadow

Dalton eventually working on spaghetti Westerns in Italy, but pays tribute to the movie’s director, Sergio Leone. Dalton even works with a director of a similar name during his time overseas. While hard to follow at times, “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood”
acted as an extremely intriguing alternate history and take on life in the film industry during the 1960s. I would recommend the film to anyone willing to research the Manson family before viewing.

By Lissa Knudsen @lissaknudsen SANTA FE — Last year, New Mexico had the largest percentage increase (27%) in homelessness of any state nationwide, according to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD) 2019 Annual Homeless Assessment Report. This disheartening statistic came despite repeated efforts of municipal and state leaders in recent years to address the issue — and a North Valley-area legislator wants to take a different approach. New Mexico State Representative Dayan Hochman-Vigil sponsored House Bill 19 as a way to better understand “the proposed housing projects, housing types and planning to reduce homelessness, eliminate how current systems for producing

and regulating the built environment contribute to homelessness and propose improvements to public spaces to better support those without housing,” Hochman-Vigil said. The bill requests an appropriation of $372,000 for the University of New Mexico’s School of Architecture and Planning to study homelessness. Hochman-Vigil asserted that UNM’s study aims to be different than previous efforts that have failed to gain traction. “A lot of times, we’re just putting up housing cheaply wherever for whomever, and it’s a one size fits all solution that in many instances doesn’t solve the problem,” Hochman-Vigil said. “It doesn’t get utilized, doesn’t fit people’s needs or exacerbates the problem.” More than half of all individuals experiencing homelessness in New Mexico in 2019 had chronic patterns of homelessness (52%),
according to the HUD report. “This study is much more nuanced in that it is going to look at specific housing systems from an architectural and planning perspective, so as to make sure that the shelters that we do provide are appropriate to the environment in which they are going to be utilized and that they are fitting the needs and requirements of the populations they are serving,” Hochman-Vigil said. Mark Childs, interim dean of the School of Architecture and Planning, said HB 19 is intended to fund “Shelter and Dignity,” a UNM research and public service project. “I wrote a proposal last spring that went through the whole process and has been adopted by the Regents,” said Childs, adding that the money would be used to hire two research faculty members and fund some graduate students. According to Childs, the faculty
members would also be expected to teach a graduate-level class wherein students would learn about issues surrounding homelessness and “engage with the public and (provide) a public good at the same time.” He said that this proposal came from the School of Architecture’s Design and Planning Assistance Center — a program with origins in 1969 — as part of a national community design movement that linked university design programs and design practitioners with communities in need. Hochman-Vigil’s legislation was introduced just months after Albuquerque voters approved a bond measure allowing for $14 million to go towards the construction of a centralized emergency shelter that the city has dubbed a “gateway center.” Lisa Huval, deputy director of the city’s department of Family and Community Services, said the city didn’t
develop the legislation in tandem with the representative but was hopeful for a working relationship should the funding be approved. “If (Hochman-Vigil) is successful in securing these funds, our hope is that we can work with her ... to shape this study in a way that would support a lot of the work that the city is doing rather than on a separate track or working in isolation,” Huval said. HB 19 is scheduled to be heard in the House Health and Human Services Committee on Monday, Jan. 27. If the bill is passed by the committee, it’s slated to be heard in the House Appropriations and Finance Committee before heading to the House floor for a full vote.

NEW MEXICO DAILY LOBO
OPINION
Are the Lobos good, or are they just lucky? By Joe Rull @rulljoe ALBUQUERQUE — After trouncing San José State last week, the University of New Mexico men’s basketball team was sitting pretty at 16-5 well past the midway point of the season. The good news? That was their best start in years. The bad news? That win was immediately followed by a blowout loss in Reno at the hands of an underachieving Nevada team, UNM’s third blowout road loss in a row. Here’s the thing — I’ve been covering UNM all year, and I still can’t tell if the Lobos are actually good. They might have one of the best records in the country right now, but the modern age of analytics has given us countless ways to measure more precisely why teams perform in the ways that they do. What I mean to say here is that — despite the great record, despite the high-scoring offense, despite not having lost at the Pit since last February — despite it all, UNM just isn’t as good as they are lucky.
KenPom, a holy scripture A subscription to analytics site kenpom.com is, in my mind, the best 20 bucks a college hoops writer can spend. Ken Pomeroy has carved out a beautiful career of maintaining a comprehensive statistical archive of all 300+ NCAA D-I men’s basketball team’s tendencies since 2002, which today is used by teams all over the country in order to get a leg up on the competition. A lot of what KenPom features focuses on quantifying a team’s performance averaged over the course of a hypothetical 100 trips down the court, a subset of basketball stats referred to as “per 100 possessions” which accounts for the varying tempos at which different teams play. In other words, some teams play faster than others, and per-100 stats level everything out so we can better contextualize a player’s or team’s tendencies over a standardized hypothetical set of opportunities. One of KenPom’s featured per-100 metrics is called “Adjusted Efficiency Margin,” which is a fancy, concise way to say “the net difference between Adjusted Offensive Efficiency and Adjusted Defensive Efficiency,” which itself is a fancy, concise way to say “the difference between a team’s projected points scored and allowed for every 100 possessions adjusted for opponent strength.” Without getting into the nitty gritty, the best way to explain this is that Adjusted Efficiency Margin (AdjEM) is an estimate of a team’s efficiency compared to the average D-I team. For example, Kansas currently leads KenPom’s AdjEM category at +30.22, derived from the difference between its 116.0 Offensive Efficiency and 85.8 Defensive Efficiency ratings which project that, on average, Kansas would score 116.0 points against the average D-I defense and give up just 85.8 points to the average D-1 offense over the course of 100 possessions on either side. This is similar to the Net Rating calculation in the NBA. Phew. Stay with me here. I promise this stuff is useful. Here’s the AdjEM rating of all 353 D-I teams so far this year, sorted by each team’s winning percentage through Jan. 25, 2020 (see graph of Adjusted Net Efficiency). So what is this graph really saying? Well, it says a few things. At the top left, we see literally dozens of teams which hold a better AdjEM rating than UNM despite having a worse record. In a broad sense, this shows that these 72 teams are measurably better than UNM against the average, despite having a worse record.
On the bottom right, there are just three teams with a worse AdjEM and better record than UNM. I put this chart together to demonstrate what’s already obvious — you can’t rely on a team’s record to measure how good they are. Just because UNM has a lot of wins does not mean that the Lobos are playing exceptionally well to get them. We’ve seen UNM get off to countless slow starts this season, of which you’re already well aware if you’re one of the eight people that follow me on Twitter. What’s more, the lackluster AdjEM rating and slow starts are coming against pretty low-level opponents. Who could forget the Lobos’ inability to pull away from the lowly UC Davis (now just 8-13) and Fresno State (6-14) teams at home, or worse yet — the 48-46 home halftime deficit to (now 1-16) Houston Baptist on a day which saw the initial suspensions of core players in JJ Caldwell (who remains suspended from the team) and Carlton Bragg (since permanently removed from the program)? And these are just the home games. Let’s not forget the back-to-back crushing away losses to conference foes in Colorado State and UNLV, neither of which currently rank within the top 100 of ESPN’s Basketball Power Index — of which, for the record, UNM has also fallen to 126th out of 353 teams — followed shortly thereafter by Saturday’s most recent beatdown at Nevada, whose unremarkable 90th place rank still marks one of UNM’s toughest opponents all season. Suffice it to say, UNM hasn’t exactly run the gauntlet so far this year. KenPom features a strength of schedule rating based largely on the same offensive and defensive metrics used for AdjEM. Here again are the 353 D-I teams graphed by their strength of schedule ratings and current winning percentages.

GOOOOOOOO LOBOS!
There are 55 teams in the country which have a winning percentage greater than or equal to UNM’s 0.727 mark. Of that group, UNM has played the 43rd toughest schedule thus far. UNM gets a lot of credit for its high scoring offense, which puts up about 80 points per game and ranks top-20 in the nation. What lies beneath this is the burdensome fact that the average Adjusted Defensive Efficiency rating of UNM’s opponents this year is a glaring 105.4, placing the quality of their opponents’ defenses at 315th of 353. All told, UNM’s schedule stands as the 212th toughest in the country, which really seems to dampen an already suspect resume. Is UNM good, or is their record a product of good fortune? Thankfully for us, statistician and general hoops math deity Dean Oliver invented the aptly-named luck rating, which measures the difference between a team’s actual winning percentage and the winning percentage projected by that team’s game-by-game efficiencies. Here, once more, is the entirety of the NCAA’s D-I teams, this time sorted by their luck ratings and winning percentages.
Not only has UNM played a notably weak schedule, but they’ve also gotten remarkably lucky over that time. Overall, UNM has the country’s 16th highest luck rating, meaning that they’ve been luckier than 95.5% of D-I teams this season. More broadly, UNM’s game-by-game efficiency ratings and box score stats strongly show just that — this season, the Lobos have gotten pretty lucky. I’ll say it. In objective, measurable and methodologically-backed ways, UNM has won more games than it should have thus far. So is UNM a good team? The jury’s still out. As doom-and-gloom as this breakdown may seem, the Lobos have a number of reasons to be optimistic. KenPom ratings project a 4-5 finish the rest of the way, which would leave the Lobos at 20-11 with their first 20-win season since the 2013-14 campaign. With that, they’d have a realistic shot at taking second in the conference this season (behind San Diego State, this season’s last undefeated titan which happens to be playing in the Pit Wednesday night) and — if all goes well — maybe even a postseason tournament bid. Then again, with the air of uncertainty around the program and the lack of any true frontcourt depth, the remainder of the season could really be a mixed bag. Will the Lobos’ luck run out? Only time will tell. Joe Rull is the multimedia editor at the Daily Lobo. He can be contacted at multimedia@dailylobo.com or on Twitter @rulljoe
