The No. 15 New Mexico Lobos continued their hot season Wednesday night, edging out the Colorado State Rams, 66-61. Neither team shot particularly well on the evening, with Colorado State just beating New Mexico in that category, shooting 36.8 percent from the field compared to 36.5 for New Mexico. It was the Rams' free throw shooting that betrayed them, though, as they connected on just 56.5 percent of their charity shots.
