The New Mexico Lobos men’s basketball team will finally return to the court after a whirlwind and emotional week.
Friday will mark the start of the Lobo Classic, three games over three days for the Lobos, all on the home floor of The Pit.
The Lobos had last week’s game against in-state rival New Mexico State called off due to an on campus shooting that resulted in the injury of NMSU player Mike Leake and the death of UNM student Brandon Travis.
That incident, coupling with the fight that occurred between students at the UNM-NMSU football game earlier this season, prompted both athletic directors to mutually agree to calling off the December 3rd contest that was scheduled at the Pan-Am Center in Las Cruces.
