Men’s basketball
New Mexico will only play Wyoming and Colorado State once this season due to the Mountain West’s unbalanced schedule.
The league released the conference schedules for each team earlier this week.
UNM will play Nevada in the conference opener on Dec. 30 at WisePies Arena, aka The Pit. The Lobos will then travel to Fresno State for their first MW road game on Jan. 2.
The Mountain West plays an unbalanced schedule because there are 11 teams in the conference, forcing some teams to only play each other once in the course of the season.
UNM’s lone meeting against Wyoming will take place on Jan. 16 at home. The Lobos will travel to Fort Collins to play CSU on Feb. 24.
Times for all games will be finalized at a later date.
