The UNM men’s basketball team walked away with a 13-point victory during the first Rio Grande Rivalry game of the season a few weeks ago, but getting a second win could prove to be a lot more difficult.
The Aggies (7-2) will have home court advantage this time around and are a perfect 6-0 at the Pan American Center. The Lobos (6-3) are also undefeated on their home floor at WisePies Arena, but on the road they are 1-3.
On Nov. 18 UNM claimed a 72-59 victory over New Mexico State. A win on Saturday could give the Lobos some confidence, but head coach Craig Neal says his team can’t relax too much, as rivalry games are always intense.
