• Clovis update: Coach Scott Robinson says senior G Tucker Dobbs, who has seen extensive action in just one game since coming back from an ankle injury sustained during the football season, is “day-to-day,” and he’s not sure if he’ll be able to go tonight. “We’ve been missing three of our top eight players most of the year,” Robinson said, referring to the loss of Dobbs as well as senior P Roland Chavez and sophomore G Rheal Kuchta, both of whom have sustained season-ending injuries. “We’ve had some good practices. We’re roking against their prss, and we certainly know they’ll bring pressure.”

• Hobbs players to watch: Seniors Pierre Swain (17.9 ppg, 7.0 rpg) and Jordan Gonzales (16.2 ppg, 4.7 rpg) lead the Eagles. Gonzales has hit just over half (98) of the team’s 195 3-pointers this season.
