UCLA Bruins men’s basketball sets details with New Mexico

UCLA set to face New Mexico.

It was announced back in June that the UCLA Bruins and New Mexico Lobos would get together in men’s basketball. Finally, in late August, the details were set and arranged for the first meeting.

The Bruins and Lobos will get together in Henderson, Nevada on November 8th. This will be the second game of the season for the Bruins in the 2024-2025 season.

Lee’s Family Forum in Henderson will be the venue for the game. Coach Cronin, when asked about the opportunity to play the Lobos was very excited about the opportunity. He had this to say about the meeting:

“We’re excited to add New Mexico to our schedule this season. This game provides us with another good measuring stick, early in the season, to see what our team is made of and how we stack up against a program that went 26-10 last year. I have a ton of respect for Richard Pitino, and he has put UNM’s program in a really strong position in the Mountain West. This game also gives our fans in the Las Vegas region a chance to come cheer on the Bruins in November.”

The Bruins and Lobos have split four games against each other in history. The last time they played was in 1997 when the Bruins beat the Lobos in Anaheim.
