Saturday’s Utah State-New Mexico men’s basketball game at the Pit will be the first at home for the Lobos in 18 days. It will also be the first men’s game since the university announced a proof of vaccination or a negative COVID test requirement to enter the Pit – something recommended but not required by the state.
The arena’s mask requirement remains in effect.
David William’s, UNM’s Deputy Athletic Director for External Affairs, said things ran “fairly well for a first time with a new policy like this in place” at Monday’s Lobo women’s game against UNLV – the first time the policy was in effect after both the men’s and women’s teams had home games on Dec.
