Will Webber reports on the Lobos from Cleveland as they prep for Marquette

Like a kid in a candy store as he takes in the sights and sounds of media day at Rocket Arena, University of New Mexico beat writer Will Webber shares his impressions of what he’s seen so far in Cleveland ahead of first-round action of the NCAA Tournament. Will and fellow New Mexican sports writer James Barron talk about what they think it will take for the No. 10 seed Lobos to take down No. 7 seed Marquette, with the winner likely drawing a date with No. 2 seed Michigan State in the second round. The guys touch on the Florida connection shared by UNM coach Richard Pitino and Marquette coach Shaka Smart, who both cut their teeth as assistants under former longtime Gators coach Billy Donovan. Will and James also discuss the Lobos’ struggles in the NCAA Tournament throughout their history, and what they expect from other Mountain West teams that made this year’s field.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
