The 2020-21 New Mexico Lobos basketball team’s murky future became a little clearer on Wednesday afternoon following a press conference with head coach Paul Weir.
The Lobos had to call off their Wednesday/Friday series with San Diego State due to not having enough scholarship players available. The Mountain West Conference set out a rule prior to the season that a team must have at least seven scholarship players in order to play a game. Prior to last week’s series with Fresno State, the Lobos had nine scholarship players. In game two of the series forward Rod Brown went down with an ankle injury, making him not available for the San Diego State series.
