Last game in The Pit tonight for Jaelen House. I’ll miss the energy he brought to every game. Grateful he chose New Mexico. A Lobo Legend!

Mustapha Amzil tells me that he's returning to New Mexico next season and will use his additional year of eligibility.
Averaged 6.7 PPG and 3.5 RPG last season.
Before last night, UNM hadn’t put up 39+ points against a ranked opponent in over 20 years. The last time was October 25th, 2003, when the Lobos beat
#24
Utah on the road, 47-35.

How good was Mustapha Amzil tonight? His best game as a Lobo. Hit some massive shots. UNM will be a hard out in Vegas if they play like they did tonight.

SDSU yesterday. Lobos should have CBS in The Pit more often!

Maybe my favorite House pic in his time at UNM. Dutcher’s reaction perfectly sums up how other MW teams and fans feel about House. So good.
