ALBUQUERQUE, N.M – The New Mexico men’s basketball team has added a Jan. 9 date to its schedule, hosting Oral Roberts. The game at The Pit will tip off at 7:00 p.m. and will be broadcast on the Mountain West Network.
Season ticket holders will receive their tickets for the Oral Roberts game in their account in the upcoming days. Individual game tickets for the game will go on sale next week at GoLobos.com/tickets.
The Lobos (12-0) had availability to add the game against the Golden Eagles (10-3) after the cancellations of the home-and-home series with New Mexico State. UNM replaced the other cancelled NMSU game with a neutral site matchup with San Francisco in Las Vegas on Dec. 12.
UNM and ORU haven’t met since 2015-16 when the Lobos recorded a 91-75 victory at The Pit. Overall, the Lobos lead the series 2-1, winning both previous matchups at The Pit and ORU winning the lone matchup in Tulsa.
The Lobos open Mountain West play on Wednesday (Dec. 28) by hosting Colorado State. Game time at The Pit is 7 p.m.
