Lobo hoops: Neal expects better perimeter shooting

It was only about three minutes into full-court, scrimmage-style drills at the Oct. 16 Lobo Howl when back to back 3-pointers were made at both ends of the court.

Such a sight from a Lobo not named Hugh Greenwood seemed to many in the Pit that night like a distant memory, including UNM men’s basketball coach Craig Neal.

But now, “we can shoot a little bit this year,” the grinning third-year Lobos coach said into a microphone to listening fans (well, as much as the Pit’s sporadic sound system would allow that night).

They better be able to – shoot, that is.
