Sources: New Mexico is targeting Bronco Mendenhall, the former coach at Virginia and BYU, as the school’s next head coach. Mendenhall went to 11-straight bowls at BYU and led Virginia to the Orange Bowl in 2019.

HOOPS PROFILE: a 6’6 slasher who can score on all 3 levels. Really good around the rim and can open the floor with his ability to hit from the outside. Will be tough to matchup with.
MWC Math: after today’s
@Aztec_MBB
win, the MWC claims 8 units in the NCAA tournament which pays $2.72M to the conference this year and $16.32M over the next six years. That’s roughly ~$250K for each program this year alone.
Goodine is a 6'4" guard who made 77 threes last year on 47% 3 point shooting for Fairfield.
Seems like a great potential fit for a team that needs shooting in Albuquerque.
MWC play is here! With 5 teams in the
