Udeze: ‘It’s more than what I thought it would be. Coach gave me offensive freedom. Everything he promised, that’s what it’s been. Everything he told me…. No toxic issues, no one person over the other. Been with great teammates, great staff, great individuals, it’s been great.’
Pitino on reception by Lobo Nation at Sunport: ‘Emotional, very emotional. Reminds me of Kentucky. That was special. I had people coming up to me crying and wanting autographs. Jack signed 30 autographs.’
Pitino on Lobo fans: ‘I think it’s one of the top five fan bases in all of college bkb. It wasn’t just a normal fan experience, there were people crying (in Vegas). I hope the players appreciate that.’

Mashburn on House: ‘We need him on the floor. I’m in his ear about that…. He’s my brother. He’s one of my best friends. He’s such a kind person, he cares about everybody. He just had his baby girl. He’s a great dad. He’s someone who’ll be in my life forever.’

Pitino: ‘Excited about being part of NIT. Only 19% of schools get to go to NCAA. The NIT now means more than ever that you’re close. We’re a lot closer than I ever thought we’d be in year two. First postseason since 2014. It’s been a terrific year two. It’ll be great tournament.’
Over & back is not a judgment call. It’s not a foul call. It either is, or it isn’t. Why isn’t it reviewable? Possession means everything. That’s exactly why replay review exists. Am I missing something? Replay is perfect for difficult real-time calls like this.

Great morning to be a Lobo!

Those of you who follow New Mexico basketball may have noticed I haven’t been playing or anyone who knows me may have noticed I have been so distant from everyone and there is a good reason for that.
I have struggled with depression off and on since high school. I was diagnosed
Pitino on moving MW tourney: ‘I hope they move it. I think T-Mobile would be great for a lot of reasons. Everything we do as conference from a basketball perspective has got to be, ‘We want to take over the West.’ We have an opportunity to elevate everything.’
Think you were a good shooter “back in the day?” Well, maybe you remember Mars Blackmon in the Jordan ad: “Can, can’t, can, can’t.” Watch this vid of

Thoroughly impressed by
@UNMLoboMBB
today. Tough as nails, resilient, fearless, relentless, and ultra-comptetive. Just like their coach. This was a statement, even in a loss. Sleep on this team at your peril. Can’t wait to see what the rest of the season holds.
#GoLobos
Weir: ‘I can’t wait to get involved in marketing this program and how we’re going to sell this program and the Pit and making this program the best it can be. Want to make the experience for the fans everything they want it to be.’
Mashburn on House: ‘When I first got here, and the Pit was empty, and nobody was checking on us, he was yelling at nobody. He’s always going to be himself.’
Pitino on relationship with Mashburns: “When I got fired at Minnesota that was hard…. Mashburn Sr called me and said, ‘Just tell me where you’re going and we’ll be there.’ That’s a relationship cultivated over many years.”
LOBO FANS. This time is NOW to act. We NEED your support to retain our talent and be an ideal destination for prospective talent.

Pitino on Coach Gonzales: ‘Handles himself with amazing class, amazing grace. Tough profession. I’ve been fired, beat myself up over it. Told him don’t do that. He’s going to go to great spot, & he’s going to kill it, & his family’s going to do great. Should hold his head high.’
New Mexico coach Richard Pitino after the Lobos huge win at the Pit over Colorado State.
Pitino agrees to paint his face like Snake if they win the regular-season title.
