Pitino has moved this team further along each year he’s been here. Not the ending we wanted, but I will take continuous growth of the program from our coach. Gonna be a lot of lobo Twitter nastiness than I’ll try to stay out of. Looking forward to what’s to come! Go Lobos!

This is a sports rivalry and one I definitely participate in. But my “rivalry” ends at the end of the game. I’ve got no true hatred for our fellow New Mexicans in the south. This is a blow to both schools and the entire state. I want us all to be better.
All the shit talk aside, congrats to USU for winning an outright regular season title after being preseason pick
#9
and returning zero players that scored last year. Pretty remarkable! Hope they can hold on to Sprinkle. MWC is better with him in it.
Leon is really doing his best to get me to stop hating him. It may be working. Shit. I think I may actually like Leon now. I gotta go question what’s going on in my life.
Is there anything
@CoachLeonRice
can’t do? Boise State’s coach just sat in with
@BSUBlueThunder
at the end of the open practice to play the fight song. Pretty cool:

People from all over this state send their sons and daughters to both UNM and NMSU every year. Kids from las cruces sometimes go to UNM. Kids from Albuquerque sometimes go to NMSU. My sister has degrees from both schools. We are not “enemies.”
Seeding matters. Lobos were a better team than sdsu this year. That was proven on the court. They had a better noncon schedule. We HAVE to improve there. If other MW schools getting more pay games, why can’t we get more? All their bravado and trash talk, they’re not as good as us
I’ll be rooting for Colorado St, and all the other MW teams (not sdsu), in the ncaa tourney! Isaiah Stevens is a good dude. Thank god he’s done coming to the Pit!
Thank you
@its_jaymashjr
for 3 amazing years. Appreciate all you did in Lobo land! Sad to see you go but want the very best for you. Best of luck wherever you land!
Leon Rice went off on the New Mexico administration for allowing the baseball team to stand outside the locker room as the players were coming out after half time. Said it got physical.
ok after thinking about it some more, i dont want to toot my own horn but i do have to add the leon tantrum tracker was so fun. im pretty sure thats when I peaked
Somebody get Mark Zeigler on the line! Something MUST be done about the officiating!
Foul count - UNM 22, USU 14
UNM - 10 Blocks
He blocked us all. Maybe
@TheShowSDSU
or
@MatteoSanDiego
could hit him up for us?
I encourage everyone to watch

's interview with Coach Pitino and Mashburn.
Pitino: "He (Mashburn) was getting a little bit crushed on Twitter. It's easy for our age to block that out. But their age reads that stuff."
Had to expect a fall back to earth a little at some point. Sucks it was in the Pit. We lost to a really good team. These Lobos have not given us any reason to think they won’t bounce back. I am not worried. We are still in good shape! And Donovan Dent is a freakin bad ass.
Everybody in San Diego should be ashamed of this clown’s crybaby blubbering about refs in an 18 point loss. He’s blocked the vast majority of fanbases outside of San Diego. Soft ass. Just like the red of sdsu fanbase.
While sitting next to 's expert bracket prognosticator Kevin Sweeney (
@CBB_Central
) early Saturday after the Mountain West semifinals, I asked UNM coach Richard Pitino and Colorado State coach Niko Medved if the Lobos should be in the field of 68.
Remember when Larry Eustachy’s CSU Rams came into the Pit ranked in the top 25 and we hounded him so loudly and won the game and he told Grammer nobody can win in an environment like that? Let’s do something like that again when they get to the Pit in February
Win or lose this game I’m going to say this right now… I have never seen a more trashy and obnoxious fanbase than this New Mexico group. The pit would be absolutely unbearable
Richard Pitino is no longer in the running for the Louisville job and has backed out to remain at New Mexico, per source.
Where will Louisville turn now? 🤔
