Novel research techniques grow tissues

By Lauren Topper

The science of tissue engineering — scientists growing new organs in a laboratory setting — is the type of futuristic technology most often seen in movies or TV shows. But it’s closer than one might think, literally; it’s happening right here on campus.

Elizabeth Dirk, assistant professor in the department of chemical and nuclear engineering, is leading an interdisciplinary team in the Center for Biomedical Engineering, working to tackle several aspects of this complex science. In particular, her lab focuses on the regeneration of heart valves and bone tissue to replace current transplant options, such as biological, from a donor animal or human, or synthetic.

“As tissue engineers, if we can figure out a way to make your valve grow back as healthy tissue or implant healthy tissue and have it integrate into your body, (engineered tissues) would be the ideal course. Your body would be able to take over that tissue, regenerate, and keep it healthy for you,” said Kent Coombs, a biomedical science graduate student in Dirk’s lab.

UNM football team brings low ticket revenue

By Liam Cary-Eaves

A sparse crowd attends New Mexico’s home game against Boise State on Nov. 8. Because of poor attendance last year, UNM saw its second-lowest ticket revenue in seven years.

For the past few years, the New Mexico football program has not been a main attraction for New Mexico Athletics.

In fact, the 2014 season generated the second-lowest ticket revenue in seven years. The lowest ticket revenue was the 2011 season in which head coach Mike Locksley was fired from the University following his troublesome tenure with UNM. The Lobos were just 2-26 in the two plus years Locksley headed the helm, which was just part of the negative whirlwinds surrounding the coach.

UNM Vice President of Athletics Paul Krebs said the program has significantly turned around since

Locksley’s coaching days at UNM and he expects a bright future for the football student-athletes with current head coach Bob Davie at the helm.

“There is no comparison between the former coach and this coaching staff,” Krebs said. “I love what he (Davie) is doing with the development of the studentathletes on and off the field.”

New Mexico’s football program strives for $2 million in revenue for the ability to support the program, Krebs said. Although ticket sales only profited $1,383,357 this past season, Krebs said the $700,000 guaranteed from other areas will plunge the Lobos over the $2 million mark. The Lobos’ guaranteed money from the Mountain West in 2014 is the lowest it’s been since

Davie took over as head coach.

“We will be receiving additional money, through TV (and through deals with the Mountain West), more than we had budgeted that will offset our shortfall in the ticket sales,” Krebs said. “College football in general is struggling. Attendance nationally across all football games is down 4 percent this year.”

Davie is coming up on his fourth season as head coach for New Mexico, and last season’s 4-8 record is the best record since 2008. Davie also produced a 4-9 season in his first year in Cherry and Silver.

In a press conference before the 2014 season opener against UTEP on Aug. 30, Davie said he understands the fans’ desire to attend winning

Surplus department recycles old equipment

By Lena Guidi

In the old Elks Lodge building located on North Campus, a multitude of miscellaneous items are warehoused: computers, old CRT monitors, gym equipment, projectors, furniture, medical tools and framed posters. There are even oddities like a handmade globe, a mysterious medical instrument from the early 20th century and a baby dummy.

This is where UNM’s property comes to die — or, ideally, to be resold to a different department.

The Surplus Property Department, under the administration of University Services, is responsible for

disposing of items that are worn out, unusable or obsolete, supervisor Christopher Lopez said.

“We’re a basic operation, but we’re needed by the University,” he said.

Lopez said when someone from any department — including the Health Sciences Center and all branch campuses such as Gallup, Valencia and Los Alamos — has something to get rid of, he and the four other employees at Surplus Property are in change of figuring out what to do with it.

Once the property is received, it is not simply thrown away. The next course of action depends on the item and its condition, but

CAMPUS BRIEFS

UNM to collaborate with Albuquerque’s Emerging 2030 District UNM has partnered with Albuquerque’s Emerging 2030 District, a nationwide initiative formed to meet the urban sustainability standards set by the 2030 Challenge for Planning, according to a UNM press release.

Albuquerque’s Emerging 2030 District is a private sector-led effort utilizing collaboration, incentives, shared resources and public-private partnerships to promote the development of high-performance buildings and a healthier, livable city of the future, the statement said.

“Sustainability is a UNM value that has led to substantive changes in the way that our facilities operate, and the culture across campus,” UNM President Bob Frank said. “I am excited to promote UNM’s involvement with the ABQ Emerging 2030 District exploratory committee, as well as our commitment to reduce our existing properties’ environmental impact by 50 percent.”

Data to Knowledge Day encourages sharing ideas across disciplines Data to Knowledge (D2K) Day will take place on Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. on the third floor of the SUB. This event is a great opportunity for students, faculty and researchers to meet and share ideas regarding data-enabled research and teaching across the humanities, social sciences, the arts, and science, technology,

engineering and math (STEM) fields, according to a UNM press release.

“I encourage those interested in these diverse fields and the creation of new knowledge to attend the free event,” Frank said.

UNM College of Education to increase number of effective teachers in schools UNM College of Education has developed a new project, titled Supporting Transformation Action in Reciprocity Together, designed to increase the number of effective teachers in early childhood, elementary and secondary schools.

The number of effective teachers will be increased by providing rural, tribal and cultural field experiences and integrating coursework to support the development of cultural competency for students studying to become professional educators, according to a UNM press release.

“This collaboration is about forming a partnership with rural and tribal communities that involves the community and seeks ways to strengthen school, university and community partnerships,” said Vi Florez, professor and PNM Endowed Chair.

The project, sponsored by the Kellogg Foundation through a one-year, $1 million grant, includes the formation of three Transformational Action Groups, or TAGS, which are comprised of COE faculty from across disciplines designed to transform teaching practices internally, the statement said.

Rural Health Nursing course welcomes students UNM’s Massive Open Online Course, Rural Health Nursing, is ready to welcome students.

This course is focused on people interested in the problems that face healthcare providers when resources are scarce or culturally inappropriate, according to a UNM press release.

The course designers — Amy Levi, a professor at the UNM College of Nursing — and Van Roper, an assistant clinical professor at the UNM College of Nursing, are collaborating to teach the course, the statement said.

Agostini becomes new chief medical officer at UNM Hospital Dr. Irene Agostini has been named chief medical officer of the UNM Hospital, according a Health Sciences Center press release.

Agostini, who is board certified in emergency medicine, will report to Dr. Michael Richards, executive physicianin-chief of the UNM Health System, and hospital CEO Steve McKernan, according to the statement.

Agostini will work closely with administrators and clinical service chiefs to develop medical policy, goals and operational directions for the hospital, which she will collaborate in implementing. ~ Compiled by Sayyed Shah

games, something he has strived for since taking the head coaching position in 2012.

“It’s important but I also know again that we have to put a product out there that people want to come watch,” Davie said. “From that point on, we need to give them a reason to come back.”

UNM averaged 21,937 fans per game in 2014, which ranked seventh of the 12 Mountain West teams, and the Lobos haven’t come close to mustering up a winning season since 2007 when the team went 9-4, including a 23-0 New Mexico Bowl win over Nevada.

UNMerciful is a student-run organization designed to generate excitement towards UNM sports. Steven Roberts, the president of UNMerciful, said it will take time to entice Lobo fans back to University Stadium. He said the change has already taken place regarding the atmosphere that Davie brings to his players and in time, fans will follow.

“The attitude is so much different. They just always believe in themselves. It doesn’t seem to matter if they are down in the games or up in a game, they just always believe in themselves,” Roberts said. “That’s what Bob Davie has brought to the program, I think.”

Davie’s inability to produce an immediate cure to UNM’s woes, going 5-13 record at home (11-26 overall), could be one reason Lobo fans have turned away from the program. However, Krebs said the two Friday night games the Lobos hosted also put a dent in the seating numbers.

“I actually give our fans a lot of credit for hanging with us through a very down time,” Krebs said. “Ultimately, putting a winning product on the field is a huge step in the right direction and I think we’re headed in that direction.”

During the slow times of progression, Krebs said the school has worked to put together more of an exciting atmosphere in order to entice people to gather in the stands.

Krebs said he hopes to add more additions to yield an electrifying ambiance.

“The one thing you can’t control is winning the games,” Krebs said. “We may have a new sound system for next year. We’ve added fireworks. We’ve tried to do a number of things related to the student body like the student tailgate party.”

The challenging mark the University would like to reach is filling 25,000 to 30,000

seats every game, Krebs said. He said it is a growing process which will continue to improve.

In order to bring the rocking atmosphere back to New Mexico, Roberts said the Lobos just need to win.

“Traditionally that’s what you see happen here in Albuquerque,” Roberts said. “If you go back to the Rocky Long era, when they were starting to win, you saw a lot more participation, not just in students, but in overall fan participation.”

Although fans would certainly prefer to attend a winning event, the Lobos have made significant strides to foster an improving program.

New Mexico has warranted a nod of approval early in Davie’s career as a Lobo, granting him a two-year contract extension back in April of 2013. The former Notre Dame head coach is under contract until the 2019 season.

AIDS awareness seminar to offer free testing New Mexico Department of Health partners with Black Student Union

By Fin Martinez As part of Black History Month, the New Mexico Department of Health is collaborating with UNM African American Student Services and UNM Black Student Union to take measures in aiding the prevention of HIV/AIDS and to educate the community about the virus.

The two UNM groups will hold a National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day seminar in the SUB on Feb. 19 where there will be educational presentations and talks from a panel of people who are living with HIV. “I think a lot of people think that (HIV) only affects certain populations depending on age, race, status,” said Abdul Onesimus Al-Amin, Community Outreach Coordinator for the UNM

provided evidence that HIV/ AIDS is still misunderstood and feared by society. But the site also states that measures are being taken by various organizations to help prevent the spread of HIV. The NMDOH states that one in 200 African Americans in New Mexico is HIV positive, and the infection rate among African Americans is three times higher than any other ethnic group in the state. The NMDOH also says that oftentimes many individuals who have HIV are not aware they are infected.

“I feel a lot of people have misconceptions about (HIV), like how you can get it or how it can be transferred,” said Jacklyn Asamoah, UNM Black Student Union president. “If you actually do have it, a lot of people think they’ll just die immediately, but that’s obviously not the case.”

Asamoah said she believes there will be immediate effects on the community after the event.

National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day at UNM is part of a series of events orchestrated by the NMDOH that have taken place around Albuquerque since Feb. 5. The NMDOH HIV Prevention Program aims to help prevent the spread of the virus and to teach individuals to make safer choices such as condom use, not sharing syringes and disclosure of HIV status to their partner, according to a press release.

“The Office of African American Affairs is working closely with the Department of Health and other community advocates to identify health disparities among African Americans. We recognize that in New Mexico HIV and AIDS

disproportionately affects African Americans,” Yvette KaufmanBell, director of the Office of African American Affairs, said in a recent press release from the NMDOH. “We hope that people will recognize these problems exist and take the opportunity to participate in one of the many events offering free HIV testing for National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day.” The education seminar and patient panel goes from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the SUB Ballroom A. The free and confidential HIV testing runs from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Property might have IT employees re-image the hard drive, install new anti-virus software and sell it back to a UNM department for $50.

During its showroom hours five days a week, representatives from various departments can come by to look at available items for sale.

“During the daily showroom hours, Surplus Property invites UNM departments to purchase, at very reasonable prices, used office furniture, office supplies, re-initialized computers, and basic medical

equipment or supplies, to name a few,” reads “UNM Surplus Property: Who we are,” a report from Board of Regents agenda notes.

If the property cannot be sold back to UNM, it is made available for recycling, donation or auction.

The Surplus Property department commissions Bentley’s, an auction and appraisal firm, to sell items to the public.

“We fill up a trailer for public auction every couple of weeks, and they pick it up,” Lopez said. How-

ever, getting rid of property is not always that straightforward. The Board of Regents must approve the disposal of any item valued at $5,000 or above. In 2014, around $386,000 worth of these higher-value items were disposed of.

Some examples of larger, more expensive items that Surplus Property deals with include incubators, industrial ovens, simulators, laboratory ventilation hoods, electrical transformers and computer servers. Lopez said that when he first

began his job at the department they had to dispose of a boat.

“We get everything through here, one way or another,” he said.

mimics the natural properties of that organ. For example, to recreate bone the scaffold must be very hard, whereas to regenerate a heart valve it needs to be softer and more pliant.

In both cases, the scaffold must dissolve, but only at a specific point once the organ is fully formed. Dirk’s lab has successfully manipulated different scaffold materials to control their degradation time to anywhere from a few weeks to a few years, depending on the need. The lab has also developed and recently patented several novel techniques for making scaffold systems that will likely be the basis for new biotech company start-ups here in the Albuquerque area.

Once the correct scaffold has been created, the cells must be coerced into re-creating the organ rather than simply growing

into a blob of tissue or forming something like a scar.

“One of the challenges in tissue engineering is making sure that you understand the system that you are trying to regenerate,” said Matthew Rush, a nanoscience and microsystems engineering graduate student who also works in Dirk’s lab.

This means that even if scientists develop a way to regenerate one type of tissue, they may still be starting from scratch with another type.

“Most organs are made out of many, many cell types. So not only do you have to understand one cell type, you have to understand them all and how they interact,” Coombs said.

To combat these challenges, Dirk has compiled a group of scientists with diverse backgrounds — her lab includes people with expertise in

everything from engineering to chemistry to biology. A uniquely collaborative effort, there are only a handful of labs in the world doing what her group is.

While the heart valve project is in its earlier stages, Dirk said her lab’s system for bone regeneration is much farther along and poised to start more advanced stages of testing.

However, the lengthy FDA approval process means that it will likely be at least 10 years before their system reaches an actual patient.

Still, lab-regenerated tissue has uses even at this stage, with potential applications in the study of disease progression. Dirk’s lab, while trying to convince cells to grow into a healthy heart valve, accidentally caused them to grow in a way that seemed to perfectly mimic a valve seen in a form of heart disease.

“It’s not very well understood how heart valve disease starts and progresses,” Dirk said.

“There’s actually not a very good tissue model for it.”

Instead, her lab’s accidental, unwanted discovery could be an easy and accurate model that other scientists can use to study the disease. Dirk’s lab, however, is keeping their focus on growing healthy tissue and getting the technology to the point where it can help the people who need it.

“We want to learn how to keep these cells in a healthy state, produce and maintain appropriate tissue and prevent disease progression,” Dirk said.

Surplus Property makes it a priority to mitigate the losses of the original department that it came from.

“Normally, any item of value in a Surplus list will be resold through all means available, i.e. Request for Bid, Auction House, special auction, online sale, to recover the maximum monies to re-invest in the mission of the requesting department,” according to notes on the Disposition Detail List for 2014.

The event will also be providing rapid testing for HIV provided by the New Mexico Department of Health. The testing is free and confidential.

“I think we need to pull out all stops,” Al-Amin said. “Especially in minority communities, HIV is growing very fast.”

Since its emergence nearly 30 years ago, the virus HIV has been met with fear and misunderstanding. Since its spread, the scientific community has studied the virus to determine its behavior and transmission. During that time great strides have been made in discovering the nature of HIV/ AIDS, according to Avert.org.

the lab is experimenting with different approaches. The first is to implant a special scaffold that will cause the body’s own cells to grow onto it and regenerate the organ while actually inside the host. The scaffold would then dissolve, leaving only the new organ behind.

The second is to grow the organ on a scaffold in the lab and then implant the fully-functioning organ. Ideally, all cells would come from the person into which the organ will go, so it would literally be their own organ.

Yet the task is a large order and requires numerous considerations from how to treat the individual cells needed to recreate the organ to deciding the best material for the scaffold and how to make it.

For each organ being targeted for regeneration, a different scaffold must be designed that

America and the Middle East after ISIS

By Emile Nakhleh

As the Congress ponders President Barack Obama’s request for an Authorization for Use of Military Force to fight the Islamic State (ISIS or IS), American policymakers must focus on the “morning after” before they embark on another potentially disastrous war in the Levant.

The president assured the nation at his press conference on Feb. 11 that IS is on the verge of being contained, degraded, and defeated. If true, the United States and the West must address the future of the region in the wake of the collapse of IS to avoid the rise of another extremist threat and another “perfect storm” in the region.

The evidence so far that Washington will be more successful than during the Iraq War is not terribly encouraging.

George Tenet, former director of the Central Intelligence Agency, wrote in his book At the Center of the Storm that in September 2002 CIA analysts presented the Bush administration with an analytic paper titled “The Perfect Storm: Planning for Negative Consequences of Invading Iraq.” The paper included “worst-case scenarios” of what could go wrong as a result of a United States-led invasion of Iraq.

The paper, according to Tenet, outlined several negative consequences: * anarchy and the territorial breakup of Iraq, * regime-threatening instability in key states, * deepening Islamic antipathy toward the United States that produced a surge of global terrorism against U.S. interests.

The Perfect Storm paper suggested several steps the United States could take that might mitigate the impact of these potentially negative consequences. These included a serious attempt at solving some key regional conflicts and domestic economic and political issues whichhave plagued the region for decades.

Unfortunately, the Bush administration spent more time worrying about defeating Saddam’s army than focusing on what could follow Saddam’s demise. Ignoring the Perfect Storm paper, as the past decade has shown, was detrimental to U.S. interests, the security of the region, and the stability of some key Arab allies.

America and the region now have to deal with these consequences—anarchy, destruction, and refugees—of the Bush administration’s

refusal to act on those warnings.

The past decade also witnessed the resurgence of radical and terrorist groups, which happily filled the vacuum that ensued. American credibility in the region plummeted as well.

When CIA analysts persisted in raising their concerns about a post-Saddam Iraq, the Pentagon’s Under Secretary for Policy Doug Feith dismissed the concerns as “persnickety.”

If the Obama administration wants to avoid the miscalculations of the previous administration about Iraq, it should make sure the land war against IS in Iraq and Syria does not become “enduring” and the presence of troops on the ground does not morph into an “occupation.”

Defeating IS might be the easy part. Devising a reasonably stable post-IS Levant will be more challenging because of the complexity of the issues involved. Before embarking on the next phase of combat, American policymakers should have the courage and strategic vision to raise and answer several key questions.

The “liberation” of Iraq that the Bush administration touted in March 2003 quickly turned into “occupation,” which precipitously engendered anger among the population.

Iraqi Sunnis and Shia rose up against the U.S. military. The insurgency that erupted attracted thousands of foreign jihadists from the Middle East and other parts of the Muslim world. Bloody sectarianism and vigilantism spread across Iraq as an unintended consequence of the invasion, and it still haunts the region today.

During the Iraq War, the Iraqi Sunni minority, which has ruled the country since its creation in the early 1920s, perceived the United States as backing the Shia majority at the expense of the Sunnis. They also saw the United States as supporting the sectarian policies of former Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, especially as he excluded Sunnis from senior government positions. This feeling of alienation pushed many Iraqi Sunnis to support the Islamic State.

Former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld refused to admit that an insurgency and a civil war were spreading across Iraq. By the time he admitted that both were happening, it became impossible to defend the “liberation” thesis to Iraqis and other Arabs and Muslims.

It’s foolish to argue that the United States-led war against IS in Syria is not indirectly benefitting

the Assad regime. Assad claimed in a recent BBC interview that the coalition provides his regime with “information” about the fighting.

Regardless of the veracity of his claim, Assad has enjoyed breathing room and the freedom to pursue his opponents viciously and mercilessly, thanks to the U.S.-led coalition’s focus on IS. Sunni Arab regimes, are already urging the Obama administration to increase substantially its military support of the anti-Assad mainstream opposition. These regimes, which are also fighting IS, argue that the United States could simultaneously fight IS and work toward toppling Assad.

If this situation continues and Assad stays in power while IS is being contained, Sunni Arab populations would soon begin to view the United States as the “enemy.” Popular support for radical jihadists would grow, and the region would witness a repeat of the Iraq scenario.

The expansion of IS across Iraq and Syria has, for all intents and purposes, removed the borders between the two countries and is threatening the boundaries between Syria and Lebanon, Iraq and Jordan, and Iraq and Saudi Arabia.

If U.S. policymakers are interested in creating political stability after IS, they should explore how to re-establish a new political order on the ashes of the century-old Sykes-Picot Levant political architecture. Otherwise, the “Iraq fatigue” that almost crippled American efforts in Iraq in recent years, especially during the Maliki era, will surely be replaced by a “Levant fatigue.”

It will take a monumental effort to redesign a new Levant based on reconciling Sunnis, Shia, Christians, Kurds, and Arabs on the principles of inclusion, tolerance, and respect for human rights, economic opportunity, and good governance. If the United States is not prepared to commit time and resources to this goal, the Levant would devolve into failed states and ungovernable territories.

Since the bulk of radical Sunni theology comes out of Saudi Arabia and militant Salafi Wahhabism, the United States should be prepared to urge the new Saudi leadership, especially the Deputy to the Crown Prince Muhammad bin Nayef, to review the role of Salafi Wahhabi preachers and religious leaders in domestic public life and foreign policy. This also should certainly apply to Saudi education and textbooks.

Whereas in the past, Saudi officials have resisted any perceived foreign interference as an encroachment on their religion, this type of extremist, intolerant ideology has nevertheless given radical jihadists a religious justification for their violence. It now poses an undeniable threat to the national security of the United States and the safety of its citizens in the region.

Autocracy, corruption, repression, and anarchy in several Arab states have left millions of citizens and refugees alienated, unemployed, and angry. Many young men and women in these populations will be tempted to join new terrorist organizations following IS’s demise. The governments violate the rights of these people at whim, imprison them illegally, and convict them in sham trials—all because of their political views or religious affiliation or both—in Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Iraq, Syria, and elsewhere.

In Egypt, thousands of political prisoners are languishing in jail. In Bahrain, the regime has been stripping dozens of citizens of their citizenship because of their pro-democracy views.

Once their passports are taken away, Bahraini citizens are deprived of most government services and opportunities. When visiting a government office for a particular service, they are required to show the passport, which the government has already taken away, as a proof of identity—“catch-22” leaving these citizens in a state of economic and political limbo.

Partnering with these autocrats in the fight against IS surely will reach a dead end once the group is defeated. Building a new Levant cannot possibly be based on dictatorship, autocracy, and corruption.

Iraq and Afghanistan offer stark examples of how not to build stable governments.

The Perfect Storm paper warned the Bush administration about what could follow Saddam if critical questions about a post-Saddam Iraq were not addressed. The Bush White House did not heed those warnings. It would be indeed tragic for the United States if the Obama administration made the same mistake.

Road stretch for Lobos

By Liam Cary-Eaves

In the final stretch of the season, New Mexico will face a demanding road test against teams trying to knock the Lobos down from the number one spot in the Mountain West.

UNM will face off against the San Diego State Aztecs and will immediately forge ahead to UNLV (10-13, 7-5 Mountain West) on Saturday without coming back to Albuquerque in between.

Although the Lobos beat SDSU at home earlier in the season, UNM head coach Yvonne Sanchez said the Aztecs are not the same team the Lobos faced on Jan. 7.

“They’re not just settling for jump shots and 3s. They’re really pounding the ball inside,” Sanchez said. “That’s why they’re playing better basketball right now.”

SDSU is currently coming off two road losses against Wyoming (12-11, 7-6 MW) and Colorado State (18-6, 10-3 MW), the team tied with UNM atop the conference.

UNM’s confidence is soaring thanks to a seven-game win streak. Sanchez said the team is not surrounded by a single player leading to the team’s success.

“We are playing well. We’ve played well at home and well enough to win on the road,”

Sanchez said. “Even if we’re not shooting well from the floor, I think our defense is picking us up. That’s what we’re going to have to rely on.”

The last time the Lobos and Aztecs (9-15, 6-7 MW) faced off, SDSU keyed on junior guard Bryce Owens and held her to just five points. However, Owens said her squad needs to have a short-term memory and play the Aztecs with a clean slate.

“We have to go in and play them like this is our first time,” Owens said. “They’re prepared for us and we’re prepared for them.”

Sanchez said defensively, she expects SDSU to try to shut down a particular player like the squad did in the first game. However, she said whoever the Aztecs shift their focus to, won’t affect the UNM’s game plan.

“They’ll do some junk defenses that we’ll have to be ready for,” Sanchez said. “We’re not a oneperson team. If they take one person away, we will have her screen and screen and screen and get other people open.”

As for what the Lobos (14-10, 10-3 MW) will be focused on, Owens said the defense needs to be ready for any of the SDSU players to step up. Although the Aztecs aren’t surrounded by a superstar player, Owens said they are not a team

hindered from a lack of talent.

“They definitely have some great threats on their team,” Owens said. “If we can stay defensive-minded and disciplined, I think we’ll be great.”

Team defense has been the main reason the Lobos have garnered a shared first place in the conference. However, New Mexico is not allowing the top spot in the Mountain West to blur the team’s goals.

“It’s a great honor to be tied for first place right now, but we can’t let that slow us down and we can’t be satisfied,” Owens said. “People are going to say stuff about us if we are hot or we are not, but we have to stay together as a team.”

Sanchez said the Lobos may be eyeing the standings more if there were fewer games left, but the tough competition ahead has her unit preoccupied to focus on where the team will finish in the regular season.

“There are a lifetime of games left,” Sanchez said. “Our kids are just taking it one game at a time and getting better.”

MEN’S BASKETBALL

Lobos offense sputters versus SDSU

By Kyle Tomasi A stagnant offense is not the best way to defeat the third best defense in the country. Running into the streaking first place San Diego State University Aztecs wasn’t necessarily the best situation for New Mexico, either.

UNM suffered its fifth straight loss after a 63-46 thrashing by SDSU. The Lobos have now dropped six of their last eight games of the season. It’s the first time since 2007 that the Lobos have lost five consecutive games.

“I thought our guys fought and were going to continue to fight,” head coach Craig Neal said. “I’ve got good kids in that room and it’s like I said, it’s my job and I’m going to keep working and keep trying to get better.”

The Lobos struggled once again against the Aztecs by only shooting 30.9 percent (17-55 FG) from the floor and 33.3 percent (3-9 3FG) from behind the 3-point arc.

Finding a go-to guy this year has been tough for the Lobos. With sophomore guard Cullen Neal out of the lineup, the Lobos have had to overcome their roles and try to be scorers, something this team is not necessarily equipped with.

“If you look at my starting five, and I told our guys this, I was really candid with them, if you look at my starting five there’s not one of them in my starting five that’s ever been a goto guy,” Craig Neal said. “I’ve got five guys that are in the starting lineup as role players.”

The Lobos traded the first few baskets with the Aztecs until SDSU went on a 10-0 run that gave them a 17-7 edge midway through the first half. Freshman Sam Logwood ended the run with a layup that cut the deficit to eight points.

SDSU wasn’t finished. After the Logwood layup, the Aztecs answered with yet another run, this one a 9-0 run that put the Aztecs in a comfortable position late in the first half.

SDSU went into halftime with a 31-18 edge over the Lobos.

The Lobos (14-12, 6-8 Mountain West) threw multiple defenses at the Aztecs including man-to-man, a 2-3 zone and a 1-3-1 zone late in the

game. None of these seemed to slow down the hot shooting Aztecs.

“I think we have to get back to guarding again,” Neal said. “I just think we gave them some really, really easy baskets and they made some shots in a timely fashion. We just have to get back to being solid defensively and tough-nosed.”

The Lobos stat line did not have a lot of bright spots but one that stuck out was offensive rebounds.

The Lobos outrebounded the Aztecs 19-12 on the offensive glass and 36-33 overall.

Trivia Contest

in Tuesday’s contest.

SDSU (21-6, 11-3 Mountain West) was led by senior guard Aqeel Quinn, who scored a gamehigh 20 points on 8-15 shooting.

Freshman forward and NBA Draft Prospect Malik Pope was the Aztecs next leading scorer with 16 points, none more exciting than

a statement dunk over two Lobos late in the second half.
