New Mexico basketball team holds off Colorado State in Mountain West semifinal
They call the Thomas & Mack Center Pit West for a reason.
New Mexico fans take over the arena for the Mountain West tournament.
They sure have this week as the Lobos desperately needed a few wins to make the NCAA Tournament.
The Colorado State men’s basketball team felt the fervor Friday night as New Mexico took down the Rams 74-61 in the Mountain West tournament semifinal.

Lindsay Lohan Gives a Standout Performance in Otherwise Lightweight Irish Wish
Irish Wish, directed by Janeen Damian and starring Lindsay Lohan as a lovelorn book editor who’s granted one fateful wish during a trip to Ireland, is exactly what you’d expect it to be: a lightweight dream-fulfillment fantasy set against a sigh-inducing landscape of dramatic cliffs and tranquil, emerald-tone rolling hills. There’s also an old-school family estate home thrown in, the kind of million-room mansion that always looks so pristine and elegant in the movies but is, in real life, almost impossible to keep bright and warm and dry. These familiar elements aren’t liabilities, but rather selling points, especially in the realm of Netflix romances—and that’s what Irish Wish, unapologetically, is. But the movie’s biggest draw, for good reasons and perhaps some unsavory ones, is probably Lindsay Lohan, who has in recent years reinvented herself as a romantic-comedy heroine.
And why not? As a child and young adult, Lohan was one of the most gifted actors of her generation, a charmer with crackerjack timing in movies like The Parent Trap and Freaky Friday. A little later, as awkward-teen-turned-hotshot Cady Heron in the original Mean Girls, she captivated not just teenage audiences but pretty much anyone who’d ever been to high school. It was nearly impossible to dislike Lohan as a performer, though it wasn’t long before her highly public substance-abuse issues, her troubled relationship with her parents, and her overall erratic behavior made her an object of fascination even among those who’d never seen her in a movie.
