Multiple sources said Dent agreed to a $2 million payment up front and an additional $1 million to be paid during the 2025-26 season.

The guys talk about the expectations Olen faces at UNM and the challenge he'll have to build a coaching staff and re-tool the roster.

Northern New Mexico College men's basketball coach Jesus Aragon resigned Friday to take on a "new project" in Mexico, according to the coach's Facebook page. His departure also opens up the athletic director position.

In the span of less than four months, the school will have hired a new athletic director, football coach and men’s basketball coach.

The job of replacing Richard Pitino will likely move quickly over the coming days.

Multiple sources confirmed that Richard Pitino has been hired as the new coach at Xavier.

Will Webber also talks about his interactions with Rick Pitino, who was sitting behind him at Sunday's Lobos-Spartans game.

UNM coach Richard Pitino is a hot item, and all signs point to the end of this week as the telling point of whether he stays with the Lobos. Even if Pitino stays, chances are at least half the roster will turn over thanks to the transfer portal.

The sudden end of the New Mexico men’s basketball season is like saying goodbye on rocket fuel.

The South Region semifinals and finals (the Sweet 16 and Elite Eight) are in Atlanta starting Friday.

The Spartans and Lobos will meet in the South Region’s second round Sunday night in Rocket Arena.

"That shot built a lot of character," Washington said. "Missing or making it, I learned a lot."

The ghosts of Cal-State Fullerton, chile cheese fries, David Gibson and Harvard linger in their hearts and minds.

Pitino's buyout drops to $375,000 by the end of March.

“St. John’s,” Jack said, arms crossed.

When asked about a possible mismatch in the block against Marquette’s low post players, Lobos center Nelly Junior Joseph did his best to lay it out there. He finished with a barely audible but clearly stated curse word.

The ties that loosely bind Marquette and New Mexico are rooted in Gainesville, Fla., and a man whose own roots extend back to Rhode Island and the Pitino family: Billy Donovan, coach of the Chicago Bulls.

Will and James talk about what they think it will take for the No. 10 seed Lobos to take down No. 7 seed Marquette. 

The Lobos are in a pretty good place at the moment, but just imagine what it would've been like if certain key players from last season had stuck with the team.

It really is too bad the Mountain West Conference decided to split apart after the 2025-26 season.

The Lobos (26-7) are a virtual lock for an at-large bid.

Most college basketball observers have the Lobos in the tournament as an 8 or 9 seed, even with Friday’s loss.

The Lobos held the Spartans to 36% shooting while forcing 18 turnovers, securing a second straight trip to the Mountain West semifinals with a 63-52 win at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas, Nev.
