New Mexico Basketball: Devon Williams basketball career is over

On Wednesday evening, New Mexico head coach Craig Neal announced that Junior forward Devon Williams would no longer play basketball.

When you think of New Mexico vs. New Mexico State you think of the Rio Grande rivalry and rivalries are usually competitive and sometimes bring out some bad components of team's fans.

On Sunday, New Mexico State fans showed that despite the rivalry there's still room for respect they remained silent as Lobo junior forward Devon Williams laid motionless on the floor after being hit on the neck chasing a loose ball. When Williams was finally removed from the court on a stretcher, Aggie fans cheered in an act of support for the injured Lobo.
