ALBUQUERQUE, N.M – The New Mexico men’s basketball team returns home Tuesday night when it hosts Air Force at The Pit. Game time is 7:00 p.m. and the game will be televised on Altitude, streamed for free on the Mountain West Network and air on Lobo Radio Network.
Tuesday’s game is the Lobos’ Teddy Bear toss game. Fans should bring any new stuffed animal to toss onto the court at halftime. All donations will benefit kids in need in our local community. There will be a target at center court and the closest registered stuffed animals will win gift baskets!

The Lobos (19-6, 10-4 MW) look to reach the 20-win mark for the fourth straight year. New Mexico is coming off a 70-64 victory at Grand Canyon last week. Jake Hall led UNM with 23 points, his school-record eighth 20-point game of the season, while also setting the Mountain West freshman record with 78 threes on the season.
Air Force (3-22, 0-14 MW) is coming off a 93-63 loss at Fresno State on Saturday to begin a two-game road trip. The Falcons are led in scoring by Lucas Hobin, who is averaging 11.9 points per game.
The Lobos lead the all-time series 69-27, including 39-3 in The Pit. New Mexico won the first matchup this season, 91-49, on Jan. 10 at Clune Arena, UNM’s largest ever margin of victory in a Mountain West road game.
The Lobos will begin a two-game road trip on Saturday with a visit to Fresno State. Game time is 6 p.m. MT and the game will air on CBS Sports Network.
