New Mexico's Anthony Mathis looks to fire a long-range shot during the Lobo Howl's 3-point contest Oct. 16 at WisePies Arena. The Lobos open their exhibition schedule Tuesday with a 7 p.m. contest against Colorado State-Pueblo.
In his first two years as head coach, Craig Neal didn’t want to give too much away schematically during the exhibition schedule. That led to fairly straightforward contests.
That will change this time around. Neal said he and the Lobos will treat this week’s exhibition schedule like any other regular-season game. He hopes it will prevent a slow start to the regular 2015-16 campaign.
