The Lobos have to hope the Collegerpi.com Jerry Palm has a better NCAA crystal ball than ESPN.com's Charlie Creme.
Palm has consistently ranked the Lobos as a fourth through sixth seed playing in Tuscon or Denver. It's a nice nod to No 21 New Mexico's nonconference schedule and the competitive Mountain West Conference.
His latest projection has the Lobos as a sixth seed in Denver, but it is updated on Tuesdays and does not reflect New Mexico's past two wins.
Creme has had the Lobos from fourth to seventh seed in far-flung places like Purdue in West Lafayette, Ind., and Trenton, N.J.
His latest projection released today, which means it includes the Lobos' latest wins, has New Mexico as a seventh seed in Trenton.
It's clear the Lobos can do a lot to help their seeding by staying hot during the next two weeks.
What seed do you think the Lobos deserve and where would you expect to see them in the first round?
