New Mexico’s offense faces its first road test

New Mexico has averaged 96.0 points through three games, shooting 51% from the field and 40% from three. Jake Hall leads the Lobos at 30.7 points per game, while Chris Howell averages 6.0 assists. That combination gives Santa Clara a scoring threat to contain and a distributor to track.

The Lobos opened with a 100-60 win over Utah Tech, then scored 94 against both Northern Arizona and Little Rock. Those results show consistent scoring across their three completed regular-season games, with the opposition held to 69 points or fewer each time. All three games were played at The Pit, however, so those wins do not yet show how New Mexico’s offense will travel. Santa Clara presents a different setting after a run in which the Lobos never had to leave Albuquerque.

Santa Clara brings a broader mix of wins

Santa Clara averages 85.8 points and 41.0 rebounds through four games. David Castillo leads the Broncos with 13.2 points per game, and Sash Gavalyugov averages 4.2 assists. The Broncos have won all three games at Leavey Center, where their rebounding could help them create chances against New Mexico’s efficient offense.

Santa Clara’s 76-71 win at North Texas is its only road result so far and its lowest-scoring game among the four listed. At home, the Broncos scored 89 against Towson and 95 against Milwaukee before an 83-77 win over Sacramento State. The latter result and the North Texas game were closer than the first two home wins, showing that Santa Clara has also prevailed when the final margin narrowed. Those completed games give the Broncos experience winning in both locations, though New Mexico’s scoring output poses another challenge.
