Positioning for the NCAA Tournament is what's on the mind of No. 11 New Mexico heading into its regular-season finale Saturday at Air Force. The Lobos wrapped up their second consecutive Mountain West Conference title and fourth in the last five years last weekend. Air Force was an early surprise in conference play, but has gone 2-6 since upsetting San Diego State on Feb. 2.New Mexico is on pace to shoot its lowest field-goal percentage in 51 years. The Lobos are hitting on 41.8 percent of their shots this season, making half their attempts or better in five games. They've excelled on defense, however, and have done an exceptional job avoiding turnovers, especially lately. During its current six-game winning streak, New Mexico is allowing an average of 57.3 points, while limiting the opposition to 37.3 percent from the floor. The Lobos have combined for only 30 turnovers in the last four games.TV: 6 p.m. ET, AltitudeABOUT NEW MEXICO (26-4, 13-2 MWC): Since scoring a career-high 46 points and making a conference-record 10 3-pointers Feb. 23 at Colorado State, junior guard Kendall Williams has combined for 25 points in the last three games and missed all eight 3-point attempts. Good thing for the Lobos, a different player seems to step up every game. Most recently, it was junior forward Tony Snell who scored 25 points in Wednesday's victory against Nevada, a career high for a conference game.ABOUT AIR FORCE (16-12, 7-8): The second-half slump by the Falcons in conference play will likely keep them out of the NCAA Tournament, unless they can pull off a couple more upsets and win the Mountain West Tournament next week. But a good showing against New Mexico and a win or two in the conference tournament should be more than enough to secure a spot in the NIT. Michael Lyons is the type of player who can put a team on his shoulders. He scored 45 points against Colorado State last month.TIP-INS1.
