Until just a few years ago, the NCAA prohibited Division I basketball coaches from discussing results of preseason scrimmages against other teams.
Saturday, UNM Lobo men’s basketball coach Richard Pitino may have wished that rule was still in place.
The Lobos lost a closed-door scrimmage in the Pit to Northern Arizona, 69-67.
Though under no obligation to do so, Pitino did talk with the Journal about what transpired Saturday afternoon.
“It’s a good reminder that while people think we’re going to be good, and I still think we’re going to be pretty good, it was a good reminder that you need to be ready every time out,” Pitino said.
