It was New Mexico’s first ever opponent at the Pit. So nearly 50 years later, it’s only fitting that Abilene Christian would return to share the court with the Lobos.
New Mexico (4-2) will host Abilene Christian (3-2) on a night when the Lobos will not only hope to safeguard its perfect 8-0 all-time series record, but also on an evening of celebration and remembrance for 50 years of basketball and other events at the venue, now WisePies Arena.
The Lobos have won over 81 percent of its home games in the venue’s history, a release stated.
