PERSONALLY, I’D BE very disenchanted if future UNM/NMSU soccer and basketball rivalry video games had been curtailed. Each groups are evenly matched and the video games are thrilling. I see the occasions at NMSU and at UNM this previous 12 months as an anomaly, albeit a really critical one. Eddie Nunez is completely proper in demanding a written safety plan for future occasions at NMSU. Hope we are able to put this behind us and be taught from it.

ASSISTANT BASKETBALL coaches come and go along with about the identical regularity as native tv reporters. In the future they’re on the job and the subsequent day gone. Hopefully the brand new man can carry to Richard Pitino’s Lobo basketball group some defensive technique as a result of Pitino’s first two seasons of defensive teaching had been unhealthy. Enjoying virtually solely man-to-man protection, his groups gave up extra layups than any Lobo group I can bear in mind. Hopefully Pitino will combine in some zone, as the latest reminiscence we followers linger with is your UNM group getting run out of the Pit by Utah Valley. Unacceptable.

GREAT SEASONS by the UNM males’s and girls’s golf groups. As for the NCAA (Championships), one has to surprise who got here up with this “medal turning into match play” format, whereas dragging out the competitors over 6 days for student-athletes, and giving Scottsdale, Arizona. a monopoly internet hosting the tournaments in 100-degree warmth. The true winner needs to be determined by 72 holes of medal play. Play 36 holes, then minimize the sector in half and the ultimate 15 groups battle it out for the championship over a complete of 4 days of play. Easy.
