Here are a few extra notes, quotes, stats, videos and whatever else I could empty out of the old notebook that didn’t fit into print after the Lobos’ 72-61 road win over Rice on Sunday in Houston:
They actually played!
With Game 7 still to play, Game 6 was a double-overtime marathon for the Raptors and Celtics. On Toronto’s side, OG Anunoby, Kyle Lowry, Pascal Siakam and Fred VanVleet each logged 50 or more. On the contrary it keeps everyone busy all of the time, especially the teacher who will find that, instead of. While this is normally a game for 10 to. Question: Q: How to resend a game pigeon message? My friend got a new phone when we were in the middle of a game and she wants me to resend the game. But it won’t allow me to forward the message and when I click play it keeps saying “waiting for opponent” but my friend doesn’t have all the text messages anymore so she can’t reach the.

There are 357 Division I men’s college basketball teams.
If you take away the eight in the Ivy League, which decided as a conference not to play this season due to COVID-19, there were just 26 left that had not played a game entering Sunday.
The Lobos were more than happy to make it 24 on Sunday — becoming the last in the 11-team Mountain West to play a game (San Jose State’s first was Friday, Colorado State’s was Saturday).
UNM, as has been heavily reported at this point, had a late start to the season as full team practices and games are currently prohibited in New Mexico due to a public health order. After relocating to West Texas to practice at South Plains College in Levelland, Texas, and also playing and practicing some in Lubbock, Texas, there were more than a few worries about whether Sunday’s game would really ever get here.
“To be totally honest with you, you just keep waiting for the other shoe to drop,” admitted Lobos coach Paul Weir. “We’ve been down the road so many different times and I’ve had to have some really difficult conversations with the guys (about the delays to UNM’s season). But we tested Friday evening and when the test results came back on Saturday, and we were all negative, it was kind of that moment of like, ‘Oh my gosh, this might actually happen.’ I think until that point, even the players were probably skeptical that this might actually take place.
“So, it’s an amazing feeling. I told the guys after the game, how proud I am of them to be able to go out and compete this way given all the different things that they’ve had to go through. We just need to enjoy this and savor it and and ride this journey for as long as it’ll go.”
Freshman forward Bayron Matos left his prep school in December 2019 to enroll last season at UNM, though he redshirted and did not play a game, meaning the Dominican Republic native had a full year since his last game.
“It was hard,” he said Sunday, after the 6-foot-9 forward had 10 points and five rebounds in his college debut. “Like, my mind was going crazy. My family back home kept calling me. That was hard seeing your friends playing games hopping I see your friends playing games, you don’t even know when you play your first game, when you’re going to start to practice. But, you know, I stayed positive and believed in the program and (knew) that everything would go well.”
Gamer in print
Here’s the game story that posted online Sunday afternoon and was published in Monday’s Albuquerque Journal:
A number to know: 100
Sunday was college game No. 100 for Lobos senior Makuach Maluach.
That probably explains why he was so good and some of this teammates on the Lobos, with a roster of so many new players (12 had never played a game for UNM before Sunday). I asked Maluach after the game if he was nervous at all.
“Nah, pretty calm,” he said. “You know, I have a lot of games under my belt. So you know, just same mindset, same routine. Just come in and compete and try and get a win.”
Up Next
Tuesday, also at Rice’s Tudor Fieldhouse, the Lobos will host NAIA Our Lady of the Lake at 5 p.m. The game will be streamed on YouTube (I have not seen a link to what YouTube channel it will be on, yet).
Our Lady of the Lake is a name college basketball fans are probably aware of, a regular in the non-conference time of the season picking up a handful of games vs. Division I programs. This season, the Saints have already played four Division I teams, including beating the Sun Belt’s Texas State on Saturday.
The Saints lost to Rice on Nov. 28, 103-64.
RIP, Aggie legend
New Mexico State University basketball legend Jimmy Collins, one of the stars of the 1970 Final Four Aggies team, has passed away, his family announced on Sunday.
He was 74.
RIP, Jimmy.
We lost a great one today 🙏
Rest in peace, Jimmy. #AggieUp

More on Maluach
While the gamer I wrote was Makuach Maluach heavy (why wouldn’t it be with his scoring 23 points and grabbing 12 rebounds?), it’s worth again just taking a look at some numbers surrounding Maluach’s performance, career and what’s coming up…
Sunday stat line:
• 23 points
• 12 rebounds (6 offensive)
• 8-14 FGs (2-2 3FGs); 5-6 FTs
Career stat updates:
• 100th game played Sunday
• His 23 points Sunday give him 982 for his career, pulling him within 18 of becoming the 35th Lobos to score 1,000 points in a college career.

A number to know: 19
The Lobos pulled down 19 offensive rebounds on Sunday, tied for the second most in the Paul Weir era of Lobo basketball. The team has a goal this season each game to grab 10 more offensive rebounds than their opponent.
“Our goal is to be plus-10 on the offensive boards,” Lobos coach Paul Weir said. “We were plus-9 tonight, which was a perfect. … A big part of our identity is going to be being able to rebound the ball. It’s been a big part of our preseason emphasis.”
The Lobos had four players grab three or more offensive boards: Maluach (6), Rod Brown (4), Valdir Manuel (3), Bayron Matos (3).
As mentioned above, the 19 rebounds tie for the second most a Lobos team has had under Weir. The top four offensive rebound totals in the Weir era are:
• 26 – In a loss Feb. 26, 2019, at San Jose State
• 19 – In a win Sunday at Rice
• 19 – In a win vs. UC-Davis on Dec. 29, 2019
• 19 – In a win vs. Omaha on Nov. 14, 2017
The flip side of a lot of offensive rebounds is that the team has to miss a lot of shots to get a lot of offensive rebounds. But, nevertheless, it was an impressive performance on Sunday. Which leads us to the next note…
Stop the count!
The Lobos’ 19 rebounds, coupled with Rice’s 20 defensive rebounds, gave UNM an offensive rebounding percentage of 48.7%.
As of Sunday night, in an extremely small sample size, that’s a figure good enough to lead all of Division I college basketball.
Stop the count.
The UNM Lobos have the best offensive rebounding % in the nation per KenPom at 48.7%. 8 ball pool game pigeon music.

He said it
“That’s what the quarantine will get you to do, man. It gets you to do some stuff people are not accustomed to. …
“I love my guys. Emmanuel (Kuac) brought it up, saying you should try something with your hair, so I was like, ‘Let’s do it.’ So he did it.”

Meanwhile, in Boise…
Boise State is waiting for the Lobos for both teams to open Mountain West play Dec. 21 and 23.
Sunday, in the Broncos’ last game before UNM, Weber State’s Dillon Jones accidentally punched referee Rick Batsell in a celebration of a hard drive to the rim in which he scored and was fouled.

Final stats
Here is a link to the final stats from Sunday’s game: UNM 72, Rice 61
And if you prefer the more traditional looking version, here you go: UNM 72, Rice 61
Oh, those 3s…
UNM could struggle to shoot from the outside this season, and on Sunday that showed up with a 4-of-17 (23.5%) showing.
And on the other side, Lobo fans may have been having flashbacks early as the Lobo defense was still getting lit up from beyond the arc, as it seams to do with regularity the past couple seasons.
Rice hit 13-of-35 3-pointers (37.1%), but just 7-of-22 (31.8%) in the second half.
The Lobos certainly can’t be happy with giving up 13 3-pointers a game, but if an opponent needs 35 attempts to get there and take just 21 2-pointers, it’s probably because they are either A) incapable of scoring inside on the Lobos, which is a good sign, or B) trailing in the game and trying to make a come back, which would also be a good sign for the Lobos.
Then again, teams could just be hitting a ton of 3’s on the Lobos because the Lobos aren’t defending the line very well.
DNP: COVID
UNM’s 7-foot-1 center Assane N’Diaye did not play for the Lobos on Sunday due to what the university simply described as COVID-19 issues.
Game Pigeon Keeps Saying Waiting For Opponent Every
While the Journal confirmed N’Diaye doesn’t currently have COVID-19, the program isn’t saying publicly if he had it in the past and this is related to that or if his absence is related to contact tracing matters involving him having been in contact with somebody with COVID-19.
There is no public timetable on his return to the team.
DNP: Coaches decisions
These Lobo players did not play on Sunday, but not due to COVID, just coaches decision:
• Freshman guard Isaiah Marin
• Redshirt-freshman guard Daniel Headdings (walk-on)
• Sophomore forward Logan Padgett (walk-on)
• Freshman guard Nolan Dorsey
• Freshman guard Eloy Medina (walk-on)
• Junior forward Jordan Arroyo (walk-on)
Until next time…
No empty arena pic for me like this column usually concludes with after every game I cover. Such is the way of a crazy COVID-19 reality this year.
I hope to be back in the arenas covering games in person soon enough, but for now I’ll keep doing so from afar and still keep trying to bring you all as much of the extra tid bits I can manage to find on the team so many of you are still trying to get to know.
A thumb war (also called thumb wrestling, pea-knuckle or pea-knuckle war in New Zealand) is a game played by two players in which the thumbs are used to simulate fighting.[1] The object of the game is to pin the opponent's thumb, often to a count of three.[2][3] The San Francisco Chronicle called the game 'the miniature golf of martial sports.'[2]
The players face each other and each holds out their left hand or right hand in a 'thumbs up',[4] and they link hands such that each player's fingers curl around the other player's fingers. Players may not use any of the fingers except the thumb to pin down their opponent’s thumb. Gameplay has several tactics such as 'playing possum', aiming for the knuckle rather than the nail for a pin,[3] going for a quick strike, and waiting for one's opponent to tire.[5] Variations include making the thumbs 'bow', 'kiss', or both before warring, and to war with both hands at once; or sneak attacks, which involve using your pointer finger to take over the opponent.[6] Players may also engage in the Rabbit Hole maneuver, or ducking their thumb down into their own palm, to escape imminent defeat. These additions are optional and do not need to be included into the rules of play.
The game is typically initiated with both the players uttering the rhyme 'One, two, three, four, I declare a thumb war', passing their thumbs over each other in time with this rhyme.[7] The rhyme is sometimes extended with 'Five, six, seven, eight, try to keep your thumb straight.' or 'Five, six, seven, eight. This should be a piece of cake.' [8] A regional variation in Boston is “five, six, seven, eight, open up the battle gate.” In South America, the starting song is 'ésta es la pulseada china' ('this is the Chinese arm wrestling'), with the same thumb dance as in English.
Competitive matches on thumb wrestling have been held on Long Island[9] and at Lowestoft.[10] The 826 Valencia Foundation holds an annual thumb-wrestling competition, which has been won three times by San Francisco Chronicle book editor Oscar Villalon.[11] There is no leaning nor tilting when thumb wrestling.

History[edit]
Norman Mailer was passionate about thumb wrestling.[12] Author and humorist Paul Davidson claims that his grandfather Bernard Davidson invented the thumb war in the 1940s.[13] American copywriter Julian Koenig claimed to have invented thumb wrestling in 1936 as a boy at Camp Greylock.[14]
A thumb wrestling ring is a toy used for thumb wrestling.[15] The players insert their thumbs in opposite sides and proceed with the thumb war.
