If it MUST be the NIT, UNM basketball has a plan

It was Senior Night for Udeze and other Lobos, but if they end up playing in the NIT, they could return for a game, possibly two, in the Pit.

The end goal hasn’t changed.
As enjoyable as the resurgence of the Pit this season has been with men’s basketball fans flocking back to watch their Lobos at University Arena, ranked inside the Top 30 nationally out of 363 Division I teams in average home attendance for the first time since 2017 – UNM would much rather not have its team and its fans in that home gym together again soon.
