The University of New Mexico men’s basketball team practiced for a cause Friday evening, hosting the inaugural Howl-O-Ween event in the WisePies Arena AKA The Pit. The Lobos invited local families to watch an open practice and trick-or-treat with the Lobos inside the arena. The event was in conjunction and helped fundraise for the UNM Comprehensive Cancer Center and UNM Hospitals.
According to UNM, some 2,000 fans came out to the WisePies Arena and had a chance to watch the Lobos get set for the upcoming season. Afterwards, the entire Lobo team passed out candy and signed autographs for all in attendance.
