Trap game this was not.
The New Mexico Lobos men?s basketball team dismantled visiting Fresno State 72-45 in The Pit on Saturday.
Usual starters Kendall Williams and Chad Adams rode the bench to open the game.
The last time Williams was benched in an afternoon game where UNM was favored the Lobos lost to South Dakota State.
Williams never entered the game and the Lobos did not struggle this time.
The Lobos (15-2, 2-0 MWC) had three different players score in double digits.
Alex Kirk led all scorers with 19 points. Forward Cameron Bairstow and guard Tony Snell chipped in 16 points apiece.
Fresno State (6-9, 0-2 MWC) was down 32-29 in the first half, and never had the chance to gain an advantage in the second half.
The Bulldogs, winless in their first two Mountain West Conference games, will host Wyoming next.
Marvelle Harris led the Bulldogs scoring effort with 11 points.?No other Fresno State player scored in double digits.
It wasn?t all cherry for the Lobos. UNM shot a pathetic 2 for 12 from the 3-point line. However, the Lobos offset poor outside shooting with great interior play. The Lobos shot 49 percent from the field and outrebounded the Bulldogs 42-21.
Pre-game
The No. 25 New Mexico men?s basketball team continues it?s Mountain West Conference schedule at home against Fresno State on Saturday at 1 p.m.
The Bulldogs (6-8, 0-1 MWC) will play the Lobos for the first time in the Mountain.
The two teams were members of the old WAC and last played each other in 1999.
The Lobos lead the overall series 8-7. The Lobos (14-2, 1-0 MWC) are coming off a home victory against UNLV, 65-60.
Big man Alex Kirk proved he is ready to play big time in conference.
The redshirt sophomore scored 23 points, grabbed 9 rebounds and was an overall nuisance for the Rebel?s NBA Draft Lottery prospect Anthony Bennett.
Fresno State opened the new year with a loss to conference power San Diego State.
Kevin Foster led the Bulldogs in scoring with 18 points scored during the 65-62 loss against the Aztecs. Tyler Johnson is the leading scorer for Fresno State, averaging 10.1 points per game. Foster leads the team in rebound with 6.8 per game.

Euroset, Russia?s largest mobile phone retailer, has shared some market intelligence with Hi-Tech Mail.Ru.
The information does not only cover their operation, but the whole Russian market, which is about 12-13 million smartphones big in 2012.
They report that they believed Windows Phones took 7% of Russia?s market in 2012, up from 6% in 2011. That translate into about 1 million Windows Phones sold that year.
Nokia itself is believed to have taken 14.6% of the Russian smartphone market in the November/December holiday period, with around 15,000 Nokia Lumia 920 smartphones being sold then, making up 10.1% of all all Nokia smartphones for that period.
As the above graph from Adduplex showing market share of individual handsets in Russia from early January shows, unlike in USA where the NL 920 quickly took the top Windows Phone position in the market, the NL 920 has only made a limited impact, likely limited by a high price in what is a very price sensitive market.
It is likely that the release of cheaper devices like the Nokia Lumia 620 and new cheaper Windows Phones by Huawei will? help move the market more.
Thanks Diskin and Feddie for the tip.

Well-intentioned children and aquarium hobbyists seeking to ?free? their pet fish down a toilet bowl or into a local waterway may inadvertently be contributing to the threat of invasive species downstream, according to a new report from the University of California, Davis.
In a report released today to the California Ocean Protection Council, lead author Susan Williams, an evolution and ecology professor with the UC Davis Bodega Marine Laboratory, found that more than 11 million non-native ornamental marine individuals ? such as tropical fish, seaweed and snails bound for aquariums ? representing at least 102 species are being imported annually through California?s ports of San Francisco and Los Angeles, primarily from Indonesia and the Philippines. And 13 of those species have been introduced to California marine waters ? presumably after being released from aquariums.
While that number is low, the report cautions that 69 percent of the introduced species established themselves successfully in California, signaling a potential threat to marine ecosystems. Some non-native, invasive species can rapidly spread and outcompete native species for food and habitat.
?Although relatively few aquarium species have been introduced compared to species in other pathways, such as ballast water, they are highly successful because they?re grown to be hardy and robust,? Williams said. ?They have to be tough to survive in the trade.?
The aquarium trade represents a $1 billion a year global industry and a popular home hobby, second only to photography, the report said. It has also introduced some of the world?s worst invasive species, such as the seaweed Caulerpa, the ?killer algae? that infected two lagoons in Southern California in 2000 and cost California more than $6 million to eradicate.
Another invader is the highly predatory lionfish, which regularly enters the state?s ports through the aquarium trade ? 20 lionfish were imported into San Francisco International Airport on a single day, the report said. Introduced to Florida in 1999, it spread rapidly throughout the Caribbean Sea and along the East Coast by 2010. Lionfish have not been reported in California waters, but the fish is able to withstand cooler temperatures. If released, a lionfish could establish itself as far north as San Francisco Bay and, even farther, as oceans continue to warm, the report said.
While the report highlighted lionfish and Caulerpa as species of special concern, it identified at least 34 species deemed able to tolerate California?s current marine climate.
The report is one of six that the UC Davis Bodega Marine Laboratory coordinated for the state, each exploring a different vector, or pathway, through which invasive species can enter California ocean waters. The other pathways include aquaculture, live seafood, live bait, fishing vessels and recreation vessels. Williams said it makes sense to focus on invasive threats from the aquarium trade because they can be managed primarily through public education, with minimal regulatory action or expensive measures.
?Unlike some other vectors, we can easily prevent unwanted introductions from the aquarium trade,? she said. ?Aquarium hobbyists can follow some simple practices ? like ?Don?t dump your aquarium? ? to avoid releasing aquarium species into natural water where they can become an expensive and harmful pest.? Williams said that people who no longer want an aquarium species can contact the vendor from which the species came or the California Department of Fish and Wildlife? (formerly called California Department of Fish and Game) to learn how to dispose of or return it responsibly.
For the risk assessment, researchers analyzed state and federal agency databases of non-native species associated with ornamental aquariums, as well as U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service inspection records for live animals imported into California ports, and state permit records for restricted species. The researchers also observed a routine, one-day inspection of live organisms arriving in air cargo at San Francisco International Airport for a snapshot view of the inspection process.
The scientists discovered several data limitations: Regulatory agencies do not track the ultimate destination of the aquarium species once they clear customs, so it is unknown how many species stay in California once they arrive.
Both Caulerpa and lionfish are also readily available for sale over the Internet, which presents a data gap for researchers and a regulatory challenge for agencies.
Further, regulatory authority for the trade is fragmented across state and federal agencies, and there is no central source of information on the species, regulations, permits or other relevant records.
?From the hobbyist or industry side, it is really hard to figure out the rules and regulations for holding live organisms in the state ? for importing, possessing and trading them,? said Williams. ?So one of our conclusions is that a more centralized information and permitting system would benefit the regulators, industry and hobbyists, and enable scientists to collect more information and better assess the risk.?
The study was funded by the California Ocean Protection Council and California Ocean Science Trust.
