🔼 Making Statements. The Lobos men’s basketball team is making a statement this off-season. Hoop Scoop Media ranked the Lobos at 24 in their July 1st Top 25 rankings. The Lobos finished the 2022-2023 season 22-12 overall, including a top 25 win over San Diego State and an NIT appearance. Don’t forget to renew your 2023-2024 season tickets by logging into your account at GoLobos.com/tickets.

🔼 Listen Up. While we’re on the topic of basketball, Coach Richard Pitino hosted a press conference last month with Jemarl Baker Jr. and Quinton Webb. They talk about the progress that has been made and look ahead to the upcoming season.

🔼 Counting Down. There are now 58 days until kick-off, so let’s take a look at that number in Lobo history. In the 2021 season, quarterback Terry Wilson threw a 58-yard touchdown pass to Manny Logan Greene for his first receiving touchdown as a Lobo. To make it even better, the Lobos beat New Mexico State 34-25 in this edition of the Rio Grande Rivalry. It was also Coach Gonzales’ first win of the rivalry.

🔼 Let’s Have A Party. The UNM Lobo Club will be hosting its annual Cherry & Silver Scholarship Gala on August 19 at the Clyde Downtown Albuquerque. This will be a night to celebrate the Lobos successes and raise money for UNM Student-Athlete scholarships. There will be a VIP reception, silent auction, dinner, live auction, and live music to follow. Don’t miss out on a magical night, get your tickets or table here!

🐺 ONE BIG THING
