Kruger signed a five-year contract and hasn’t even finished a second season. Those already banging out Tweets and emails for another change at the top are incredibly shortsighted.
The Rebels forced 24 turnovers and held No. 21 Dayton to one 2-point basket in the second half during a 60-52 victory Tuesday night.
New Mexico relocated out of state Nov. 20 and has pretty much been on the road since. The Lobos found home bases in Lubbock, Texas, and most recently St. George, Utah.
