� e funding formula for New Mexico colleges and universities is moving from an enrollment-based system to a performance based system in an e� ort to create funding incentives to raise graduation and retention rates.
Larry Behrens, the public information o� cer at the New Mexico Higher Education department, said the new Watson-Hadwiger Formula allocates funds based on outputs rather than inputs. Previously, the formula was based on the number of students enrolled, and the square footage of an institution. Rep. Ray Begaye (D-San Juan) said the new formula will create incentives that speci� cally target struggling students
“I know from the students coming into the high-er education setting, two years or four years, there’s been some indicators that students do drop out, so there’s a greater loss when students drop out of higher ed and complete at other schools,” he said. “� is funding formula � xes it.”
� e Daily Lobo reported last month that UNM’s appropriation, $284.6 million for � scal year 2013, is 5.7 percent more than it received this year. � e state’s higher-education allocation for FY 2013 is $749.3 million, a 5.4 percent increase from this year. Of the total higher-education budget, $29 mil-lion was allocated for the new formula.
Behrens said the outputs portion of the new for-mula makes up 5 percent of total funding to uni-versities, and is aimed at increasing performance rather than focusing on inputs.

No one correctly guessed last week’s Where Are We. It was taken in the lobby of Popejoy Hall.
Following a decrease in funding from grants and state appropriations, the Campus O� ce of Substance Abuse Prevention turned to student fees to keep students from drinking and tak-ing drugs.
COSAP was denied funding from the Student Fee Review Board for � s-cal year 2012, when it requested $16.82 per student. � is year it requested the lowest amount of fees of any group for � scal year 2013, and the organiza-tion has made signi� cant progress in lowering drug and alcohol abuse rates among students.
COSAP’s SFRB request for FY 2013 said 44.6% of students in 2001 report-ed having driven while drunk, a num-ber which dropped to 33% by 2010. Reported underage drinking dropped from 64.4% in 2006 to 61.0% in 2010. COSAP collected this data from the Student Lifestyles Survey, an annual survey of 700-900 students’ alcohol and drug habits.
But the program manager for COSAP John Steiner said adequate funding has been a struggle to main-tain since the organization’s inception.
COSAP was founded in 1992 as a response to the federal Drug Free Schools and Communities Act of 1989, which requires any university receiv-ing federal aid to have a policy on drugs and alcohol and a program to prevent substance abuse.
COSAP receives $1 per student in funding from UNM every year. It also received a grant from the Fund for Improvement of Post Secondary Education, but COSAP has not received it for several years.
Steiner said COSAP requested $0.82 per student from the SFRB for FY 2013, a more modest request than COSAP had the year before, but the SFRB recommended it be

*According to the Campus Offi ce of Substance Abuse Prevention
funded at $0.84 per student. Steiner said any money helps
students. “I think they gave us a vote of con-
� dence because we had a very modest proposal and we had concrete ideas on how to spend the money.”
COSAP has $5,000 to put toward expenses, and still has $5,000 remain-ing from a NCAA CHOICES grant of $30,000 awarded three years ago. It still has about $32,000 left from a $162,000 state block grant distributed among a coalition of � ve New Mexico universi-ties this year.
SFRB Chair Katie Richardson said although she can’t speak for the entire board, she believes COSAP was denied funding for FY 2012 to prevent a stu-dent fee increase. Richardson is one of two current SFRB members who were on the SFRB last year.
In previous years, COSAP had a program called “Designated Drivers Do It for � eir Friends,” a service that
o� ered incentives for students who choose to be designated drivers. Bar-tenders signed o� cards that would verify the student’s sobriety and des-ignated driver status. � ese cards were redeemed for prizes, but the program was discontinued because of a lack of funding. � e SFRB also recommended a $5,000 one-time funding allocation for FY 2013 so COSAP could restart the program.
“� e board thought it would be great as a pilot program to support safe driving habits,” Richardson said.
Steiner said with the help of the small amount of student fees, COSAP will be able to signi� cantly improve its work at UNM.
“� e main goal of COSAP is to ed-ucate students on making smarter choices when drinking in order to re-duce the negative e� ects that alcohol can cause,” Steiner said. “Abstinence is not our thrust; we want to let students be students.”

The Assocciated Press
MOSCOW — Vladimir Putin scored a decisive victory in Russia’s presidential election Sunday to return to the Kremlin and extend his hold on power for six more years. His eyes brimming with tears, he de� antly pro-claimed to a sea of supporters that they had triumphed over opponents intent on “destroying Russia’s statehood and usurping power.”
Putin’s win was never in doubt, as
many across the vast country still see him as a guarantor of stability and the defender of a strong Russia against a hostile world, an image he has careful-ly cultivated during 12 years in power.
Accounts by independent observers of extensive vote-rigging, however, looked set to strengthen the resolve of opposition forces whose unprecedented protests in recent months have posed the � rst serious challenge to Putin’s heavy-handed rule. Another huge demonstration was set for Monday evening in central Moscow.
Putin claimed victory Sunday night when fewer than a quarter of the votes had been counted. He spoke to a rally just outside the Kremlin walls of tens of thousands of supporters, many of them government workers or employ-ees of state-owned companies who had been ordered to attend.
“I promised that we would win and we have won!” Putin shouted to the � ag-waving crowd. “We have won in an open and honest struggle.”
Putin, 59, said the election showed that “our people can easily distinguish

Editor,
I am one of those who has stood in solidarity with the (un)Occupiers since the beginning, and while I cannot speak for the movement as a whole, I can speak for myself as one of the protesters who often uses a smartphone and other mobile devices.
The argument against the local (un)Oc-cupy group written in Friday’s Daily Lobo by Chris Quintana is as frivolous and ri-diculous today as it was when it was made against the occupiers in New York last fall by members of the national media.We live in a world in which almost every-thing we do is mediated by corporations that put profit before people. The gas you pump into your car is inexorably tied to the slavery of millions of Saudis, who are tied to an ideology supported by their leaders to keep their people in check.
The food on your dinner table is picked by wage slaves with no rights, who fear to speak out because Americans are unsym-pathetic to “illegals.” Your clothes are made by children in Bangkok who will never re-ceive an adequate education. Further, the power which you use every day to do most of the basic tasks of daily life pollutes the air of Navajos living in the Four Corners re-gion of this very state.
Piecemeal attempts to change the sys-tem, like those championed by the author, are not enough on their own. For most of us, everything we do, every single day, is drenched in the blood and pain of our fel-low human beings.
The only way to change this is by changing the whole system.The real crux of the argument made by Mr. Quintana against the iPhone and other mobile devices seems to surround the idea that they are a luxury without recognizing the incredible amount of personal and or-ganizational empowerment such devices afford.
These devices are tools as well as toys.
They have allowed protesters to report how they are oppressed by the police and re-cruit others to their cause. They ensure the bought media notices us. It is only through the use of these devices that people on a broader scale actually know what is going on in our movement.
The mistake of the ‘60s was the idea that personal action, commitment and sacri-fice are all that is required to change the system. This is not true. We need visibility and organization to get our points across. These devices help us with both tasks.
Further, to ask us to “smash our iP-hones,” after they have already been pro-duced and sold, is the moral equivalent of asking for a book-burning because you don’t like how the book was made. To give them up is to play the game with one hand behind your back. You can do that if you want, but I won’t. I want a world where my every action isn’t drenched in blood. I want to change the system.

Editor,The content of the Daily Lobo needs
some serious work. Lately, 80 percent of the paper contains something about the (un)Occupy movement or sports.
I realize that these are current issues that readers may be attracted to, but I be-lieve that there are more important issues that could be addressed. On Wednesday, the Lobo had 3 pages of sports and two of classified ads (out of eight total pag-es). On Friday, there were only three ar-
ticles that covered something besides (un)Occupy or sports (out of nine total).I love sports as much as the next person, but UNM is an institution of higher learn-ing. Just this week, UNM has had the Kan-sas City Federal Reserve chairman and the former ambassador to Venezuela here to speak.
It would be nice to have the Lobo cover more events. Also, I am sure that there are students accomplish-ing some amazing things in other ar-eas of the University besides sports.I just wish that people would start viewing UNM as place where they can grow intel-lectually. The Lobo could be a great start-ing point to change the perception of the
University.I have lived all over the country, and
UNM is an amazing place. Unfortunate-ly, the Lobo does not search out posi-tive articles that can help build upon the wonderful aspects of this community.So, please limit your sports/(un)Occupy coverage to one page and start giving the extra space to students who truly deserve some recognition. It would make the pa-per much more enjoyable and beneficial to read.

Editor,
Don’t go to the rodeo. Boycott the Ty Murray Invitational Rodeo being held in The Pit during the last weekend in March.The animals used in rodeos are not wild, dangerous beasts. They are physically provoked into displays of “wild” behav-
ior. They are shocked with electric prods, poked with sharp metal spurs, and tied up with tight, abrasive ropes.
On horses, the � ank strap is hung very loosely and very far forward on the horse in the chute. It is “pulled” in the very last sec-ond before the horse takes his � rst leap into the arena. It is equipped with a quick release handle to facilitate its fast removal. � at’s why horses quit bucking as soon as the strap is re-moved, not because the rider has fallen or gotten o� .
Animals in rodeos are tortured for our en-
tertainment. Rodeos are cruel. Cruelty is cor-rosive. It doesn’t stop at the fence, gate or door. Instead of teaching our children that torturing animals is fun, we can choose to model com-passion and empathy.
Studies have demonstrated time and again that children who learn to respect animals are more compassionate and respectful toward human beings, which is good for everybody.

He ended his speech with the triumphant declaration: “Glory to Russia!”
The West can expect Putin to con-tinue the tough policies he has pur-sued even as prime minister, including opposing U.S. plans to build a missile shield in Europe and resisting interna-tional military intervention in Syria.
Exit polls cited by state television predicted Putin would get about 59 percent of the vote. With more than 80 percent of precincts counted nationwide, Putin was leading with 65 percent, the Central Election Commission said. Complete results were expected Monday.
Communist Party candidate Gennady Zyuganov was a distant second, followed by Mikhail Prokhorov, the billionaire owner of the New Jersey Nets whose candidacy was approved by the Kremlin in what was seen as an effort to channel some of the protest sentiment. The clownish nationalist Vladimir Zhirinovsky and socialist Sergei Mironov trailed behind. The leader of the liberal opposition Yabloko party was barred from the race.
“These elections are not free. … That’s why we’ll have protests to-morrow. We will not recognize the president as legitimate,” said Mikhail Kasyanov, who was Putin’s first prime minister before going into opposition.
The wave of protests began after a December parliamentary election in which observers produced evidence of widespread vote fraud. Protest ral-lies in Moscow drew tens of thousands in the largest outburst of public anger in post-Soviet Russia, demonstrating growing exasperation with the per-vasive corruption and tight controls over political life under Putin, who was president from 2000 to 2008 be-fore moving into the prime minister’s

Putin has claimed victory in Russia’s presidential election, which the opposition and independent observers say has been marred by widespread violations.
office due to term limits.Golos, Russia’s leading inde-
pendent elections watchdog, said it received numerous reports of “car-ousel voting,” in which busloads of voters are driven around to cast ballots multiple times.
After the polls closed, Golos said the number of violations appeared just as high as in December.
“If during the parliamentary elections, we saw a great deal of ballot-box stuffing and carousel voting … this time we saw the deployment of more subtle technologies,” said Andrei Buzin, who heads the monitoring operations at Golos.
Alexei Navalny, one of the opposi-tion’s most charismatic leaders, said observers trained by his organization also reported seeing carousel voting and other violations.
A first-round victory was politically important for Putin, serving as proof that he retains majority support.
“They decided that a second round would be bad, unreliable and would
show weakness,” Navalny said. “That’s why they … falsified the elections.”
There was no evidence that the scale of any election fraud was high enough to have pushed Pu-tin over the 50 percent mark and saved him from a runoff.
Putin’s campaign chief, Stanislav Govorukhin, rejected the claims of vio-lations, calling them “ridiculous.”
Mikhail Gorbachev, the last lead-er of the Soviet Union, has become increasingly critical of Putin’s rule. “These are not going to be honest elec-tions, but we must not relent,” he said after casting his ballot.
Putin has dismissed the protesters’ demands, casting them as a coddled minority of urban elites manipulated by leaders working at the behest of the West. His claims that the United States was behind the protests spoke to his base of blue-collar workers, farmers and state employees, who are suspi-cious of Western intentions after years of state propaganda.”

It was cold and windy during the UNM Invitational at Lobo Field, but the No. 24 softball team in the country stayed red hot.
The Lobos — who are among the nation’s top 25 teams, accord-ing to the latest National Fast-pitch Coaches Association poll — dismantled California State-Bakersfield and North Dakota in two-game series on Friday and Saturday, before dropping a 6-1 decision to the University of Utah on Sunday in the tournament finale.
Despite the lone loss, UNM has the best start for a Lobo softball team in program history at 17-3.
“We came out playing some great softball with two shut outs to begin the tournament,” head coach Erica Beach said. “Our pitchers threw the ball really well, and we put a lot of runs on the scoreboard. It’s a little disappoint-ing not to close it out on Sunday, but we went 4-1 on the weekend. For the most part, we’re playing really good ball right now.”
With Friday’s 8-0 win over North Dakota in the tournament opener, Beach’s 2012 squad im-proved to 15-2 to set the Lobo softball record for best start to a season, surpassing Susan Craig’s 1984 team, which began 13-2 be-fore falling to 13-4.
“I think it’s exciting for us to have such a great start to the sea-son, but we have to remember that that’s exactly what it is — a start,” Beach said. “We can’t let that affect us day in and day out. We should use it for momentum and motivation, but at the same time stay prepared and focused on the task at hand.”
The Lobos’ offense showed why it’s the 24th best team in the country, combining for 46 hits and 47 runs in the first four games, hitting five home runs by five different players.
On Sunday, however, UNM’s bats couldn’t find an answer to Utah’s senior ace Generra Niel-son. The right-handed hurler from Blanding, Utah, held the usually explosive Lobo offense to just one hit and one run in seven innings of work from the pitching circle.
The baseball team held the No. 16 Oklahoma Sooners to only five runs on Sunday at Isotopes Park, but it didn’t score any itself.
After losing the first two games in the series to the Sooners during the weekend, 7-6 and 10-5, UNM lost its third game 4-0, losing its third straight series to go to 2-8 on the season.
Junior pitcher Austin House struck out six Sooners, but gave up three runs and 11 hits in the first seven innings of the game.
Senior pitcher Gera Sanchez came into the game at the top of the eighth inning and allowed one more run.
“From a pitching standpoint, we competed a little bit,” House said. “We held the run game pret-ty well. They’re a good hitting

“definitely effective” in striking out 10 UNM hitters Sunday.
“She moves the ball around and hits her spots,” Beach said. “We give her a lot of credit. She threw a great game against us, and she definitely kept our hitters off balance at the plate.”
The Lobos’ lone hit was a big one — a home run by senior right fielder Shenise Cox over the left-field wall in the bottom of the first inning to give UNM its only lead of the game.
The Utes answered in the top of the fourth inning with two runs of their own, before adding four runs in the sixth to put the game out of reach.
“You can’t win a game with one hit,” Cox said. “We’ve faced
(Nielson) before — last year in conference. We’ve always had trouble against her. I have to tip my hat off to her because she def-initely has our number.”
Lobo junior pitcher Kaela DeBroeck picked up her first loss of the season, now 10-1, allowing seven hits and six runs in five innings in the circle. Freshman Carrie Sheehan held Utah scoreless in two innings of relief work.
“It was a tough day for us,” DeBroeck said. “We went out there and tried to get runs across the plate. It just didn’t happen for us. We fell short on this one, and we have to chalk it up as a learning experience and move on from here.”
Poor offense blamed in 3rd lossbaseball
team, so what can you do? We’re making improvements, so that’s all that matters.”
House said his job was to keep the other team from scor-ing so that the offense could take over the game.
“What it comes down to is competing and getting after it on the mound,” he said. “We have to make sure our hitters have a chance to get us back in the game.”
Only three Lobos were able to get hits. Senior third baseman Kyle Stiner and junior shortstop Alex Allbritton both went 2-3 at the plate. Senior designated hitter Trey Porras was 1-2 at bat.
The Sooners jumped on top of the Lobos early. Sooner Evan Mistich hit a home run to left field, batting in center fielder Erik Ross to make the score 2-0 in the first inning.
Oklahoma’s Max White singled
in the second inning, bringing in Jack Mayfield. The Sooners added another run in the ninth inning after Ross batted in pitcher Dylan Raper on a sacrifice bunt.
Head coach Ray Birmingham said the team continues to make mistakes early in games.
“We come in on cruise control and then we get punched in the mouth,” Birmingham said. “We have that problem early in innings.”
Even though the Lobos played poorly, Birmingham said he is start-ing to see some improvement.
“I thought we competed with them on the whole for two in-nings,” he said. “We didn’t come out with a ‘w’ (win) but I saw some growth. We have a young team and new guys and great competi-tion and we’re not going to lower the bar.”
Champion from page 12Ryan Watkins had 16 and Thomas Bropleh added 12.
Freshman guard Hugh Greenwood continued his 22-point offensive on-slaught from Wednesday night as he added 15 points from 4-of-7 shooting. He also recorded five rebounds and
three assists.“He started to shoot and that is
what we needed him to do,” Alford said. “He can really shoot the ball and if we can get scoring like we are getting out of him that helps us.”
Greenwood said he stepped up his
game because he knew if UNM won its last two games of the season it would win the MWC regular-season title.
“I really wanted to win, winning a championship level was one of my dreams coming here, and to do it on senior night was great,” he said.
Contractors began a $12 million renovation on the Lobo baseball field last week.
The project’s first phase is estimated to cost between $2.3 million and $3.6 million, and in-cludes new dugouts, bleachers, scoreboard and a renovation to the outfield wall.
Officials said they’re unsure how many phases the project will contain, but the school has proposed a total renovation that would cost about $12 million.
Vice President of Athletics Paul Krebs said after phase one, the other renovations will de-pend on how much money can be brought in.
“There is a series of plans and initiatives — we have and future phases will be dependent on our ability to raise money,” he said.
In 2010, the New Mexico Legis-lature gave $2 million to the reno-vation and UNM has also received money for the field renovation through donations.
After the success of the renovation of The Pit, Krebs said
LAS CRUCES — The women’s tennis team dropped its third con-test of the season to Idaho State on Saturday, 5-2.
Idaho State swept UNM in dou-bles play to earn the first point, and the momentum continued into singles play.
On the first court, UNM’s soph-omore Michaela Bezdickova was beaten in straight sets 6-4, 6-2.

he expects more people to start donating money to the similar project.
“There are a lot of people that want to get behind this project,” he said. “It’s our job to figure out how to raise the necessary mon-ies to ultimately to build this field into its totality.”
UNM usually plays at Isotopes Park, but when the Isotopes have a game scheduled for the same time, the UNM game is played on Lobo Field. With the renovations, UNM would play all home games at Lobo Field.
Head baseball coach Ray Birmingham said the new field will be something the team can take pride in, and will help recruit new players.
“It (Lobo Field) will do a lot for recruiting,” he said. “There are a lot of things that need to be fixed in this program, and the facilities are definitely one of them.”
The field will not be used just for UNM games, but also for local high school teams.
Krebs said it’s important for this field to be available to the community as well as Lobo baseball.
“Our goal, long term, is to build a facility that is a testament to not only Lobo baseball but a facility
that is accessible to Albuquerque Public Schools and the New Mexi-co Activities Association,” he said.
“It really advocates and creates for all of baseball in the state.”
UNM’s only points came on the third court and fifth court when freshman Maria Sablina came back from behind and won 2-6, 6-2, 6-4 and freshman Katie Wookey won 6-1, 6-3.
The loss takes UNM to 5-3 on the year.
CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — The men’s tennis team won the 46th annual HEB tournament during the weekend after it beat Western Michigan, Texas A&M – Corpus Christi and University of Louisi-ana – Lafayette.
On Friday against Western Michigan, the Lobos swept the doubles point. The Lobos were credited with only a 4-0 win
because the final three singles matches ended early after Western Michigan was mathematically eliminated.
Against Texas A&M - Corpus Christi, UNM won 4-1. No dou-bles score was held, but during singles play junior Jadon Phil-lips won on the first court 6-3, 6-1, to send UNM on its way to a second win.
On Saturday against Universi-ty of Louisiana – Lafayette, UNM won 4-1. After taking the doubles point, UNM won three of the four single points. Again the match was called early with two singles games remaining after Univer-sity of Louisiana – Lafayette was mathematically eliminated.
UNM is now 10-4.

Solution to last week’s sudoku and crossword

Level 1 2 3 4
is beyond understanding...
Weekly Horoscopesby Alexandra Swanberg
Capricorn—In a moment of introspec-
tion the answer to your recent problems
will present itself. Because the problems
revolve mainly around strained social
interactions, the solution will likely be a
person who offers up a fresh perspective.
Look for this person around Thursday and
throughout the weekend and take care not
to judge by appearances. They will be a
subtle, wallflower type who needs you to
provoke them for conversation.
Aquarius—If possible, force yourself to
retreat from society long enough to feel
disconnected. Mercury in Aries is com-
pelling you to become a driving force in
affairs that may or may not concern you.
If you’re giving advice and attempting to
take the reins where you’re not needed,
you’ll likely be met with resistance. In-
stead, focus on your own life and projects
where you have the right to dominate.
Pisces—Try not to sweat the small stuff
this week as it’s an energy drain that you
can’t afford. Even if you don’t have much
on your plate, the fact is the energy this
week is calling for a major step forward
in terms of personal transformation. En-
gage in as many creative endeavors as you
have time for and you will find yourself
here as long as you remain undistracted
by trivialities.
Aries—Pay attention to the looks you
get from others this week as they will be
a better judge of your action’s merit than
your own conscience. You’re at peak lev-
els of ambition and energy and nobody
can stop you from reaching the end in first
place. Ask yourself who you’re racing. You
can get what you want and deserve with-
out stepping on toes. Mind your own p’s
and q’s; you’ll reach the finish line quicker
without those distractions.
Taurus—Pretend like you’re dating yourself
this week; this is the key to bringing you out
of the dark ages to the age of enlightenment.
Once you’ve shed light on how life changes
have added up to who you are today, you’ll
gain a better understanding of the world
around you. This alone will lift your spir-
its; you’ve felt disconnected from reality
the past few weeks. Prepare to re-acquaint
yourself Thursday in a new way.
Gemini—Get ready for a week of relative
solitude; this is a rare time when people are
reluctant to help you in matters beyond light
socializing. This is a good time to make sure
you’re doing what you can to be indepen-
dent, that you’re asking for help only when
you need it not when you want things to be
easy for you. Try putting yourself in their
shoes and make a serious effort to balance
out these important relationships.
Cancer—You’ll be like a seasoned actor
this week, shooting the breeze and going
through the motions as if there is noth-
ing troubling you. Even if there is nothing
apparently wrong, you can’t help but feel
something is missing. Perhaps you need
time out of the house where it’s open and
quiet. More than likely it’s not what you’re
missing but what you need to get rid of—
it’s time to let go of all clutter, physical and
emotional.
Leo—Feigning patience and understanding
has gotten you nowhere. However, the prob-
lem is that you’re pretending. You hate to
tarnish your image and reputation for than
anything, but it’s an insult to others’ intelli-
gence that you think they can’t see past the
ruse. Try not to worry about what others will
think when considering how to act, just be.
Virgo—Whenever you disappoint yourself
or others, it makes sense to take the nec-
essary steps to prevent it from happening
again. These past couple weeks, operat-
ing in such a logical way is getting you no-
where as the obstacles you run across are
out of your control. Anticipation is near
impossible, so this week try a new tack—
relax and remove yourself. It’s contrary to
your intuition, but these conflicts will re-
solve without much interference.
Libra—Your emotional wiring has gone
haywire, seemingly unprovoked. Normally
you don’t care to fuel such passions with
attention, but you can’t help but pick apart
the situation to get to the root of the prob-
lem. However, the problem is more elusive
than you expect and this will be an exer-
cise in futility. Busy your thoughts with a
more mechanical problem until the tide
ebbs, anything with a clear solution you
can create.
Scorpio—Intense experiences are your
life source, but since the sun has been in
Pisces these last couple weeks, you’ve had
to take it easy. You’ve taken to near inactiv-
ity, but this week you’ll experience a burst
of energy. You won’t be expecting it, in fact
you may be unwilling to go with it, but it
will be like battling a gale-force wind. Let it
take you wherever it’s headed though.
Sagittarius—You may consider yourself
a pouty pre-teen girl this week, regard-
less of your gender or age. The fire that
propels your adventurous side has been
dwindling. Because of this, you’ve been
forced to consider who you really are if not
this free-spirited person you’ve always felt
you are. Instead of mourning this loss, take
the steps to regain vitality. You’ll find un-
expected inspiration anywhere between
Thursday and Sunday.

For the third time in four years, the men’s basketball team is the Moun-tain West regular-season champion.
� e Lobos beat Boise State 76-61 on senior day, in front of a sold out Pit.
“I am very, very proud of (the players) because they had a lot of pressure on them, dating all the way back to October,” head coach Steve Alford said. “I think this is the � rst time in � ve years that the team who was picked to win it actually won it.”
Both San Diego State and UNM � nished with identical 10-4 record in the MWC and will share the MWC reg-ular-season title.
SDSU holds the tiebreaker and will take the No. 1 seed into the MWC tour-nament next week. � e Lobos will be the No. 2 seed and will take on No. 7 Air Force in the � rst game.
Senior forward Drew Gordon won his � rst conference title of his career in his last game as a Lobo.
He put up 30 points and 12 re-bounds, giving him his 15th dou-ble-double this season.
“He has gone to a whole other level in the past week from a points stand-point,” Alford said.
Gordon scored on 11-of-15 shooting and made his only
The three seniors on the men’s basketball team could not have thought of a better final game at The Pit.
Senior forwards Drew Gordon and A.J. Hardeman and senior guard Phillip McDonald played their � nal home game in � e Pit on Saturday. � e Lobos beat Boise State 76-61 to give UNM a share of the MWC regu-lar-season championship.
After the game, all three were honored by the team as a majority of the sold-out Pit audience stayed around to applaud the players.
All three players have been stars on the court and are slated to gradu-ate this spring.
Hardeman and McDonald em-body why the Lobos have been so successful in the past four seasons. In the past four years, the Lobos won three of the four MWC regular-season championships.
Hardeman and McDonald now have 98 career wins, tied for most in UNM history with Dairese Gary, who graduated last year.
� e pair has a chance to break that record when they face Air Force this � ursday in the MWC tournament.
McDonald scored more than 1,100 points in his career at UNM to put him at No. 24 on the list of all-time scorers at the University. In his � rst three sea-sons, McDonald started nearly every game for UNM and was an integral scorer for the team.
Before the season started, McDonald su� ered an elbow injury and a sprained ankle, and freshman guard Hugh Greenwood came into the team and took his starting spot.
Because of the early setbacks, he has only started in two games this year, but has played in 28. Head coach Steve Alford pointed out af-ter the game that McDonald was a true team player and has never once complained about his lack of play time this year.
He has come o� the bench this year to add an o� ensive spark, scor-ing 173 points and going 42-97 from 3-point range.
Unlike McDonald, Hardeman
Seniors’ fi nal game embodies collegiate career

found a starting spot hard to come by when he was a freshman, but has started in all but 10 games in the past three years.
� is year was Hardeman’s worst for scoring in his career. He only av-eraged 4.8 points per game, but it’s no surprise that this year’s Lobos de-fense has been one of the best.
� is year the Lobos moved to outside shooting, taking 599 3-pointers so far, and Hardeman had to sacri� ce his play on the of-fensive end to help the team. But
what he gives up on o� ense, he brings on the defensive end, the sign of a true team player.
It is no doubt that Gordon is the Lobos’ best player. After playing two tumultuous years at UCLA, he transferred to UNM, and because of NCAA transfer rules he had to sit out until December of last year’s season.
In just the past year and a half, Gordon has been a revelation for UNM, averaging a double-double. He has been named the MWC play-er of the year on � ve occasions and
two weeks ago was named a candi-date for national player of the year by ESPN.
On Saturday, he scored a career-high 30 points, breaking his former high of 27 with a 3-pointer with less than a minute left, the only one he has attempted this season.
It’s no surprise that these three players are the reason behind UNM’s success this year, but Gordon has stepped it up when the team has been looking for a true leader.
Alford said after the game that
two years ago UNM got to 30 wins. � e team is currently six wins away from 30, and if it makes that tally, it means it will be playing in the Elite 8 of the NCAA tournament.
� ese seniors are entering what is perhaps the most important two weeks of their basketball careers, and to win six more games is a lot to ask. But don’t count them out — if the Lobos can go that far, these se-niors can write themselves into the history books of UNM basketball.
Men win MWC but share title with San Diego State

3-pointer of his career.Down 52-48 with 8:20 left in
the game, the Lobos finished on a 28-9 run, scoring on 13 of their last 15 possessions.
One of those buckets came from junior guard Tony Snell after a tough night on o� ense. His 3-pointer with 4:54 left in the second half in a 58-56 game put the Lobos up � ve — and the Broncos never responded.
“� e 3-pointer he made was a huge one,” Alford said. “He missed his � rst six and he kept shooting, which is what we need Tony to do.”
Snell finished just 1-of-7 from the field for three points and seven assists.
Seniors A.J. Hardeman and Phillip McDonald tied former teammate Dairese Gary in wins at UNM. The two are now 98-36 in their Lobo careers.
