ALBUQUERQUE, N.M – In 1966, the University of New Mexico men's basketball team topped the Abilene Christian Wildcats by nine points, 62-53. Fifty years later, in the same iconic building - The Pit, the Lobos topped the Wildcats for the ninth straight time in program history by nine points, 64-55. The Lobos are now 5-2 on the season and 4-0 inside WisePies Arena – The Pit.
"I think one of the reasons the guys came here was because of this place (The Pit)," said head coach Craig Neal.
