Last game in The Pit tonight for Jaelen House. I’ll miss the energy he brought to every game. Grateful he chose New Mexico. A Lobo Legend!

Mustapha Amzil tells me that he's returning to New Mexico next season and will use his additional year of eligibility.
Averaged 6.7 PPG and 3.5 RPG last season.
How good was Mustapha Amzil tonight? His best game as a Lobo. Hit some massive shots. UNM will be a hard out in Vegas if they play like they did tonight.

Lobos last two regular season games on CBS: A 20-point win vs.
#11
UNLV in 2012, and an 18-point win vs.
#19
SDSU yesterday. Lobos should have CBS in The Pit more often!

Maybe my favorite House pic in his time at UNM. Dutcher’s reaction perfectly sums up how other MW teams and fans feel about House. So good.

Nelly Junior Joseph tells me that he will return to New Mexico next season and use his additional year of eligibility.
Averaged 8.9 PPG and 8.2 RPG last season.
It took some digging, but I *finally* found these classic photos of members of the 2009 Lobo Basketball team posing with wolves on The Pit floor. 🐺

Lobos just played one of their better games of the season against an Arizona team that will compete for a National Championship. Outmatched in size, talent, but not heart. Good things are in store for
@UNMLoboMBB
and I can't wait.
