Basketball impasse: New Mexico State reaches out to UNM athletic director regarding his safety concerns

There at least was some movement Wednesday in the impasse between the University of New Mexico and New Mexico State in scheduling men’s basketball games for this coming season.

New Mexico State University Chief of Police Andy Bowen spoke with University of New Mexico Athletic Director Eddie Nuñez by telephone Wednesday about concerns Nuñez has voiced to NMSU over the past several months about security in the Pan American Center if the Lobos were to play the Aggies in Las Cruces this season.

The talk came after the Journal first published online Tuesday and in print Wednesday an article about the two schools still not having been able to schedule the annual home-and-home men’s basketball games.
