ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – The taste of defeat has been in the Lobos mouth for a week following a loss to Saint Mary’s last Thursday. The Lobos were without standout guard Jaelen House in that game due to a hip injury, and they will be without him again on Thursday for the Lobos game against UT Arlington. The team is 1-3 all-time without Hose, with the one win coming against Western New Mexico in 2021.

“We want this to heal so that he can play moving forward,” said coach Pitino. “We don’t want this to be a play one game, out a week. We can’t have that. So, the goal is, he’s not a hundred percent. The goal is to get him to a hundred percent so he can roll the rest of the year.”
