Men's basketball: Neal's Lobo Louie dance electrifies WisePies Arena

Craig Neal definitely knows how to make an entrance

At the annual Lobo Howl, the men’s basketball team started its portion with Lobo Louie dancing through the decades to various hit songs. The crowd of 6,676 then erupted when Louie took off his head to reveal himself as Neal.

Nobody except a handful of people knew that Neal was going to come out as Lobo Louie. Not even his own team knew that he was going to start off the Howl in a costume.

“I knew all of them (dances). I just didn’t think I could do all of them,” Neal said after the Howl on Friday at the Pit.
