Lobo basketball travels to Palm Springs for Thanksgiving tournament

ALBUQUERQUE, NM (KRQE) – The Lobo men’s basketball team will be spending Thanksgiving on the hardwood. UNM plays in the Acrisure Classic in Palm Springs, Calif., Thursday and Friday.

New Mexico opens the holiday weekend against Arizona State on Thursday night against Arizona State. Based on the outcome of that game, UNM will play either USC or Saint Mary’s on Friday.

“I think Arizona State might be the most talented team we play,” UNM head coach Richard Pitino said. “UCLA will end up being really, really good, and I think St. John’s, too, but Arizona State is up there with those two teams.”

Lobos and Sundevils tip on Thursday at 21.30 MT. The game will be broadcast on Tru TV and MAX.
