LAS VEGAS, Nev. — In case you missed it, Richard Pitino seems to like the Pit.
He has spoken often, including after his team’s Mountain West Tournament loss to Nevada on Wednesday, about his appreciation of the fans making the Pit such a tough place to play. He’s also said there is a responsibility by him and his program to do their part in making it the Pit of old once again.
In November, UNM will start by bringing back, for one season, at least, a popular Pit tradition.
The Journal has learned UNM will host November 25-27 a four-team basketball event with each team playing the other (it won’t be a bracketed tournament format).
