The returners looked good. The new guys looked good.
Everyone played, and nobody got hurt.
All in all, it was about everything second-year UNM Lobos head coach Richard Pitino could have asked for from Saturday’s comfortable exhibition win — an 85-53 blowout over Division II CSU-Pueblo in front of an announced Pit crowd of 7,929.
“That was that was great for us. I wish we could play more (exhibition games),” said Pitino. “… Just something about playing in front of fans and just having that game day routine is great. … It was awesome to be back in this building.
