ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Lobo basketball is back and better than last year.

“To see it, what it is today, it’s everything we’ve been pushing for — seeing the fanbase back in there, having games sold out, having 14,000 on a 8 p.m. midweek game, that’s pretty impressive,” UNM Athletics Director Eddie Nuñez said.

New Mexico men’s basketball secured 22 wins under their belt this season — the most since 2014. With those wins also came a few near and total sellouts at The Pit. New Mexico finished as the 25th team in the country for total and average attendance for their men’s and women’s teams — both teams also claimed No. 1 attendance spots for the conference.

“34% increase last year just alone in season ticket sales, this year it’s probably going to be more than that,” Nuñez said. “What you see with our season tickets today? I mean we sold out all of our suites for the first time ever. We can sit here and say for a whole season long, we’ve had every suite sold out.”

With both Lobo men’s and women’s basketball rocking, Nuñez says this is good for all sports at UNM.
