Unclear communication with UNM’s Campus Watch By Lily Alexander @llilyalexander
The University of New Mexico is gradually launching a new program intended to enhance safety through a campus-wide communication channel, but the rollout has not been universally seen by those intended to be involved in the program. Planning for the program titled “Campus Watch” began the first week of the fall semester with a questionnaire sent to UNM building coordinators – staff in charge of overseeing respective buildings on campus – according to Maya Williams, Campus Watch co-chair and Facilities Management Public Information Representative. The questionnaire was meant to gauge interest and recruit volunteer Zone Captains, Williams wrote. Once assigned, Zone Captains will super-
vise 23 different areas on campus divided by Campus Watch officials. Zone Captains will communicate – through phone or email – safety concerns and crime trends with students and staff, Williams wrote. They will also lead their zones and conduct meetings. “Campus Watch Zone Captains and participants are encouraged to communicate about any safety concerns they may have,” Williams wrote. “Examples include reporting uneven sidewalks, broken doors, vandalism, graffiti, trash or individuals sleeping in certain locations.” At least two building coordinators – Trenton Ward and Krystel Rosales who oversee the UNM Bookstore – never received the questionnaire, Ward, said. “The truth is I have heard very little about the new Campus Watch program,” Ward wrote. Eric Boeglin, Operations Manager
at UNM Recreational Services, is listed in the directory as a building coordinator for Johnson Center but said he was never informed of the role. Boeglin did receive the questionnaire but did not have time to complete it because of his beginning-of-semester responsibilities, he said. “I don’t know who determines the building coordinators,” Boeglin said. “I’ve never been told I was a building coordinator.” Boeglin said that while he appreciates building coordinators, he would like to see student involvement in the Campus Watch program. After 9 p.m., students run Johnson Center until it closes at 10 p.m., Boeglin said. “There are points when we have students running this facility,” Boeglin said. “I know how, late at night, this Campus can get pretty desolate.” 10 additional building coordinators did not respond to requests for comment.
Campus Watch was based on the concept of Neighborhood Watch, Williams said. Neighborhood Watch, inspired by community policing, asks residents “to be proactive in reporting crime, supporting their neighbors and taking preventative measures,” according to Bernalillo County. UNM Police Department will share relevant campus safety information they receive with Zone Captains, Williams wrote. If Zone Captains receive word of a crime, a police report must still be filed. There is no affiliation between Campus Watch and LoboAlerts – UNM’s emergency notification system. The Campus Watch website was published Oct. 26. A list of Zone Captains, their contact information and a campus zone map will be added soon, according to Williams, though an exact timeline is not known. Once the list is available, students, faculty and staff are encouraged to get invol-
ved and share their safety concerns, she wrote. “It’s essential to understand that Campus Watch serves as an information-sharing channel and not as a means for reporting crimes,” Williams wrote.

Vice President of Student Affairs addresses ASUNM By Jaymes Boe @DailyLobo
Ella Daniel/ @ella_daniel7/ Daily Lobo
Eric Scott, University of New Mexico Vice President of Student Affairs, updates the Senate on recent developments on Oct. 25.
The Vice President of Student Affairs, Eric Scott, appeared as a guest speaker at the most recent Associated Students at the University of New Mexico full Senate meeting. Scott addressed ASUNM through a presentation speaking the on Student Affairs’ mission and took more specific questions from senators regarding the Lobo Pantry. Scott brought up the possibility of needs
testing for access to the pantry. The Student Affairs mission is, “creating infrastructure so that no matter who you are, and no matter where you’re coming from, you have the opportunity to be successful at the University,” Scott said. Scott addressed the goals currently laid out by Student Affairs – a major one being student access to basic needs support. Basic needs, like food and housing, are necessary to meet a minimum standard of living. The 2023 state wide Basic Needs study found that of 15,000 university students, staff and faculty in New
Mexico, 67% experienced some form of basic need insecurity. One of the points of focus for Student Affairs is to “attend to the health and well-being of campus through continued stabilization of student health and counseling,” Scott said. Sen. Miriam Barba asked further about basic needs resources existing outside of SHAC, more specifically regarding UNM’s Lobo Food Pantry. “Lobo Food Pantry is supposed to be used as a last resort, and for a lot of students it is being used as a first resort, so how does Student Affairs

Loaded assault rifle found near Zimmerman Library By Lauren Lifke @lauren_lifke At about 3:30 p.m. on Sept. 23, police responded to a report of a loaded assault rifle in a cactus outside Zimmerman Library, according to a State of New Mexico Uniform
Incident Report. Officers took into evidence the Smith & Wesson AR style rifle, along with 15 rounds of .22 caliber ammunition. It is unclear who left the weapon and how long it had been there, according to the report. Local photographer Milton Lau was taking portraits when he noticed the weapon hidden in a cactus on

the west side of the building near the Duck Pond. Lau said he picked it up, thinking that it was an Airsoft rifle. When he realized it was real, he set it down and called the police. Upon arrival, the responding officer removed the magazine and cleared the chamber. The officer checked the security cameras and did not see anybody nearby, according to
the report. “It had dust, and dirt and cobwebs,” Lau said. “I happened to be the only person that ever saw it because I was there.” Lau added that the situation was quickly resolved and he did not feel that it was a major incident. The case is now closed, according to the UNMPD Daily Crime Log, but
it is unclear whether the perpetrator was found. Lauren Lifke is a beat reporter at the Daily Lobo. She can be reached at news@dailylobo.com or on Twitter @lauren_lifke

ASUNM from page 1 plan to tackle basic needs around campus” Barba said. The University’s food pantry has been established as an open-use pantry, meaning there is no restriction to who is allowed to utilize the resource. The only documentation needed is a valid student ID, as stated on UNM’s food pantry webpage. While there is currently no plan to change the pantry’s open-use policy, Scott mentioned the possibility of implementing needs testing where one would have to meet certain criteria, demonstrating the need to be granted access to the pantry.
“In consideration of potentially moving into needs testing, it would have to be something that would be very closely analyzed,” Scott said. “We want to really be thoughtful about identifying those metrics.” Scott expressed his concern, seeing the food pantry as a heavily utilized resource. “One of the things that always challenges me is that on the day that it’s restocked, there’s a line out the door and around the corner, which is clearly demonstrative of a significant need,” Scott said. Scott spoke further about educating the student body on the utilization
of the food pantry, as well as the concern of acquiring more food, as it remains open-use. “How do we analyze what it would mean to send the right messages that (the pantry) is meant to be a last resort, but also how do we just increase the amount of food,” Scott said. Currently, the food pantry is primarily funded through private donations, Scott said. Beyond the Lobo Food Pantry, there have been strides made in student access to healthcare, Scott discussed. In August of this year, SHAC expanded student access to resources through the adoption of TimelyCare
PHOTO STORY: Puppy power
– a virtual health and well-being provider. It is an online health portal that students can use for free, granting 24/7 access to resources including online counseling and scheduling in-person appointments. Sen. Adrianna Casaus asked if any plans were in place to further expand the resources available from SHAC. Scott did not mention any future expansions currently planned but noted the recent hiring of a Director of Operations. “Our intake processes are smooth so that insurance billing is easy, so that scheduling is tighter,” Sc=ott said when referencing the Director of
Operations role. The role has been filled by James Shrum since January of this year, according to Shrum’s Linkedin. ASUNM’s full Senate is set to meet again on Wednesday, Nov. 8. Full Senate meetings are open to public comment. Jaymes Boe is a freelance reporter for the Daily Lobo. He can be reached at news@dailylobo.com

REVIEW: Shinedown brings a flying piano to Isleta Amphitheater By BillyJack Davidson @ BillyJackDL Isleta Amphitheater’s season came to a close on the evening of Oct. 18 with an incredibly rockin’ show. Shinedown was the forerunner for “The Revolutions Live Tour,” bringing with them Spiritbox and Papa Roach. All of them cranked their amps up to 11. Each band put on an exceptional performance alongside the music — with an array of psychedelic backdrops, interactive lighting and pyrotechnics that made the ground jump. Shinedown is an American rock band that released their first album,
Peopleworks-NM People Helping People
“Leave a Whisper,” 20 years ago in 2003, and they haven’t slowed down since. Their most recent album is “Planet Zero,” released in July of 2022. “Planet Zero” is an album focused on the effects of technology on the human race, and how it could go too far. On streaming services, the album has a set of interludes that lead directly into this theme, but the show itself pushes those ideas to the maximum. Along with their latest album, they performed a collection of tracks from seven studio albums. One of the most entertaining aspects of the band’s show was the flying piano that descended from the roof. During the show, Brent claimed that it was the first ever flying piano at

Shinedown performs at Isleta Amphitheater on Oct. 19.
the Isleta Amphitheater. The show opened with Spiritbox – a heavy metal band of three from Canada. Courtney LaPlante is the singer and songwriter for the band and put on one of the most impressive vocal performances I have ever seen. LaPlante displayed the ability to scream in a perfect heavy metal style before switching to a melodic singing voice. Spiritbox was certainly able to warm up the crowd, but Papa Roach took the excitement to another level. Papa Roach is a living legend from the ‘90s grunge era of rock ‘n’ roll and delivered a touching and heart pounding performance. Their drummer, Tony Palermo, seemed to replace the heartbeat in my chest.
Papa Roach’s front man, Jacoby Shaddix, was able to put on a raw, energetic and compassionate display. This came not only from songs like, “Leave a Light On,” “Last Resort” and “Scars,” but also through a pre-recorded video about the importance of having hope. The band’s overlying message was that you are not alone, no matter what. Each of the bands were pure rock ‘n’ roll, from their music to their message to the crowd. The feeling of being a part of this genre was palpable during the show, and within it was etched the message that none of us are ever alone. It’s alright to admit we have struggles so we can face and overcome them, but above all else, keep moving forward.
The thousands of smiles on the crowds’ faces clearly showed the band’s success in delivering that message. Cars honked off into the pitch dark night, blaring more rock ‘n’ roll and keeping the feeling alive. BillyJack Davidson is a beat reporter at the Daily Lobo.

LOBO SPORTS MEN’S BASKETBALL: Lobos first exhibition match shows the strong new blood By BillyJack Davidson @ BillyJackDL The men’s basketball team won their first exhibition match 83-65 this past Thursday against the Colorado State University Pueblo Thunderwolves. The Lobos recently brought on seven new players, including one who only arrived in the country two days prior, and fans got to see the potential of the team. The Lobos won the tip off with new player Nelly Junior Joseph getting the ball. Joseph was one of three new players in the starting line up for the Lobos, alongside Mustapha Amzil and Jemarl Baker Jr. The first half was rough for the Lobos. While both teams played evenly, Joseph only had one practice’s worth of time with the team before and was
learning as the game went on. Returning players like Braden Appelhans and Quinton Webb were there with new blood to keep the flow of the game going. Even with a few hiccups, the Lobos displayed great passing and scrambling around the Thunderwolves’ players – going back and forth with the ball and without a moment of stillness until it was shot from the three-point line. It wasn’t just the Lobos who put on a good performance. The Thunderwolves showed off their own skill at the exhibition match – particularly Makiah Morris who played well at center, allowing space for his teammates to make it past the defense, which was the one weak point for the Lobos in the first half. Still the team had great plays, particularly from freshman JT Toppin who scored 16 points with five rebounds
and four blocks in the game. Donovan Dent not only secured 26 points and six assists but showed great ball work with Toppin. Dent shot an incredibly efficient 8-11 and went 10-11 from the free throw line. After the game, he talked about his improved jump shot and his excitement for the team. “I’ve been working on my jump shot in the off season with strength training and getting to the rim – which I got to show tonight – but I just wanna play a lot and get my teammates involved,” Dent said. “I’m pumped for our future; we got me, JT, Tru – we’re all looking good right now, and it’s only going to get better when we get Nelly in the mix.” By the second half of the game, the Lobos committed to and accomplished securing their defense. The Lobos had 13 blocked shots by the end of the game. Joseph began to
play more aggressively at the basket – denying multiple lay-ups. Toppin was also able to secure two more dunks within the first minute after stealing the ball and having Dent pass cross court to Toppin for an explosive moment. Up 56-49, the Lobos had some great plays to pull away for the win. Joseph got his moment to shine during the last five minutes of the game with back to back blocked shots and a clinical pass between defenders to Shane Douma-Sanchez for a dunk. The last minutes of the game were of the Lobos playing solid while drawing out the clock. The Thunderwolves had one response with a cross court pass from Isaiah Morris to Daeyon James for a nice dunk, but it wasn’t enough. The Lobos secured the win with a strong 83-65 score. Lobos Head Coach Richard Pitino said he was overall content with the
have strong athletes and competitive coaches, but the Lobos will win in a close game. Feb. 6, Away Exactly one month after the Cowboys lose to the Lobos, they will lose again but this time in Laramie. With UNM’s Jamal Mashburn and Jaelen House both being selected to the Pre-Season All Mountain West Team, the Lobo backcourt has what it takes to pull off a second win against Wyoming. UNLV - Last Season: 19-13 Jan. 9, Away The Rebels were the second team to hand the Lobos a loss last season. The Rebels top shooter from last season, EJ Harkless who averaged 19.1 points per game, is gone and it provides UNM’s Mashburn – who was the Lobos top scorer – the opening he needs to help his team overpower the Rebels. This year the Lobos will secure the win in Vegas. Feb. 10, Home Once again, the Lobos will win against the Rebels, but in a close game. With many returning players on the Rebels from last season, the Lobos will already have an idea as to how they move the ball on the court. The Lobos will need to keep their momentum in order to take the win. San Diego State - Last Season: 32-7 Jan. 13, Home The Aztecs are currently predicted to finish first in the Mountain West this season, but the Lobos will take this win. After losing to San Diego at home last year, the Lobos are hungry for a win. With seven newcomers on
the Aztecs’ roster, the Lobos can use that to their advantage on the court. Feb. 16, Away The Aztecs are last season’s Mountain West reigning champions, and will remind the Lobos of that on their trip to San Diego and hand UNM a loss. These are two competitive teams with smart coaches, but ultimately the Aztecs will send the Lobos back to Albuquerque with a loss. Utah State - Last Season: 26-9 Jan. 16, Home The Lobos will redeem their 84-73 and 91-76 losses to the Aggies from last season and win at The Pit. Utah was the runner up Mountain West champion last season. The Aggies new Head Coach Danny Sprinkle brought on almost an entirely new team this season. With UNM having many returning players from last season, they will show the Aggies what it means to be a Lobo. Mar. 9, Away The Aggies will defeat the Lobos in Logan, Utah. Although the Aggies have a new coach and a fresh roster, Sprinkle is a well seasoned coach and knows what it means to coach a winning team. Having played the Lobos once and seen how they move the ball, the Aggies will pull off a close win over the Lobos. Air Force - Last Season: 14-18 Jan. 20, Away The Lobos took a loss last time they played the Falcons in Colorado. This season, the Falcons’ roster is made up entirely of sophomores and juniors from the Academy. With the Lobos having more veteran and ex-
perienced players, they will pull off a close win and come home successful. Feb. 24, Home With the home court advantage, the Lobos will hand the Falcons another loss. When the Lobos played the Falcons at The Pit last year, it was one of the most attended home games of the season with 15,143 fans packed into the arena. With the support of Lobo fans again, UNM shouldn’t fall to their opponent. San José State - Last Season: 21-14 Jan. 24, Away The last time the Spartans played the Lobos, they lost by nearly 30 points, 96-68. With the Spartans’ standout seniors of last season – Omari Moore and Sage Tolbert III – gone, the Lobos will beat the Spartans again and return to Albuquerque victorious. Nevada - Last Season: 22-11 Jan. 28, Home The Lobos lost to the Wolf Pack twice last season. In their first matchup this season, the Lobos will come short of a win. The Wolf Pack has a roster packed with returning players, and without Udeze at forward, the Lobos could struggle to compete with Nevada’s Tré Coleman. Feb. 13, Away History will repeat itself, and like last year, the Lobos will lose to the Wolf Pack in both games. The first matchup between the two teams will have given UNM the opportunity to see where the Wolf Pack is strongest on the court. But with just two weeks to prepare for this second game against Nevada, it won’t be enough for the Lobos to take the win.
performance of the team against CSU Pueblo, but said it’s time to get to work. “It’s exciting, but I remind myself that we’re going to be a work in progress here,” Pitino said. “It’s a lot of fun to watch these new guys like Toppin, but we’re playing a top 20 team, Saint Mary’s, and it’s going to be harder than tonight.” This was the first of two exhibition matches for the Lobos, and their next will be on Nov. 1 where they play New Mexico Highlands at The Pit.

Opinion: 2023 men’s basketball conference predictions By Francesca Cicconetti @fran_cicconetti Last season, the Lobos were 8-10 in conference play and 22-12 overall. In the Mountain West Preseason Poll, the Lobos were selected to finish third this season. Under Head Coach Richard Pitino and assistant coaches, the University of New Mexico looks promising for the upcoming season. Colorado State - Last Season: 15-18 Jan. 2, Away The Lobos will start conference play strong, redeeming their 92-84 loss at Colorado State last February and coming back to Albuquerque with a win. With six new players on the Rams, the Lobos have the opportunity to take the win being the more experienced and practiced team. Feb. 21, Home At the second meet up against the Rams, the Lobos will have the home court advantage and the win. Having already gone up against the Rams in January, the Lobos will have had the chance to see how they work on the court this season and will get a second opportunity to step up and dominate at the hoop. Wyoming - Last Season: 9-22 Jan. 6, Home The Lobos beat the Cowboys in competitive games last season and will do so again this year. The Cowboys lost to the Lobos 76-75 and 87-76 last season and will be anxious to redeem themselves, but will fall just short of a win. Both teams
Boise State - Last Season: 24-10 Jan. 31, Home The Broncos are ranked second in the Mountain West, but the Lobos will hand them a loss. The Broncos only averaged 2.9 blocks per game last season while the Lobos had an average of 3.9. UNM will take this win at The Pit. Mar. 2, Away With returning players Tyson Degenhart who led the Broncos with 481 points last season, and Max Rice with a three point average of .409, Boise State beat the Lobos in a close game. The Lobos will be sent back to New Mexico with a loss after this second matchup. Fresno State - Last Season: 1120 Mar. 6, Home The Lobos were 1-1 against the Bulldogs last season. This season in their line matchup along with having the second most losses last season, the Bulldogs will lose to the Lobos in Albuquerque. The Bulldogs will play hard against UNM, but it won’t be enough to keep up with the Lobos. Following this prediction, the Lobos will finish 2023-24 conference play 13-5, redeeming losses from last season. If the Lobos play strong, they could bring the Mountain West Championship back to Albuquerque for the first time in almost a decade. Francesca Cicconetti is a beat reporter at the Daily Lobo.

UNM’s Trailblazers provides a spooky tour of Hodgin Hall

Horror movies are projected outside of the Hodgin Hall haunted house on Oct. 25.
Michael Myers stands outside of Hodgin Hall to scare students coming into the haunted house on Oct. 25.
By Kat Gomez @DailyLobo Hodgin Hall is the University of New Mexico’s oldest building on campus. On Oct. 25, UNM Trailblazers – UNM’s student alumni ambassador organization – worked together to create Haunted Night. Before entering the haunted house, visitors are greeted by one of the alumni students with a brief history about the house, and hear whispers of speculation that it may be haunted. “Welcome to Hodgin Hall. Be prepared, for our presence has stirred Irma’s relentless spirit. Proceed with
caution, for you are about to embark on a spine-tingling journey,” the tour guides said. In each room, attendees are greeted by people in spooky masks and the tour ends in the last room as one of the Trailblazers shouts the scariest part of all – parking tickets. The spirit – Irma Bobo – is said to “wander through the halls, caressing keys and pianos and staircases,” though she is only believed to be a myth. Students who attended the event said they had a blast, even if some didn’t believe in the paranormal. Maysa Khan, a UNM student, who doesn’t believe in ghosts – attended the event with her friends anyway.
“I’d call the professionals in on it. … There’s fun in believing in it though I’m a super skeptic,” Khan said. Even then, she and other students had fun being spooked on the tour, with free Sueno’s coffee and popcorn provided. Daniela Millan – Trailblazer’s Vice President of Membership – also shared history about the Hall. It was built in 1889, a year after UNM was first established as a university. First regarded as the University House or Main Building instead of Hodgin Hall. The building itself went through some trials and tribulations, as Millan pointed out its renovated look. During the 1900s, it caught fire – forcing them to renovate the entire building

to keep it intact. “If you come back on a normal day, you can have a tour of the regular house. On the second floor, there is a little building model,” Millan said. That model shows what was once the original design of the house, which had more of a Victorian-style. “When they renovated the whole building, they did more of this adobestyle to match the (modern) New Mexico aesthetic,” Millan said. The Trailblazers wanted to make a fun event for all to attend, while simultaneously sharing knowledge and awareness about the building and its history in general. “Most people drive by, they see the ‘U,’ and they really don’t think
anything of it. They don’t think, ‘Oh, this is the oldest building on campus’... Most people don’t step inside the building and see all of the rich history that there really is,” Millan said. UNM’s Hodgin Haunted House event may have not turned skeptics, but it may have given students – new or not – an opportunity to appreciate the campus’s oldest building a little more.

NEW MEXICO DAILY LOBO
OPINION: Albuquerque’s haunted attractions By Sadie Hopkins @DailyLobo Every city has their extensive lore, whether it be exclusive to long-time residents or made available to the world through legend. New Mexico is recognized as an especially haunted state, according to the Travel Channel. It is home to many ghost towns that have gained popularity with paranormal investigators nationwide, but Albuquerque also has a fascinating history of paranormal curiosities for residents and visitors to discover. There are two locations in Albuquerque’s Historic Old Town that are rumored – or in some cases, adamantly believed – to be haunted.
Painted Lady Bed and Brew As covered on “Ghost Adventures,” Painted Lady is a bed and brew hotel that was developed out of a brothel, active from about 1880 to 1914. In addition to once operating as a brothel, the building has also been a brewery, a grocery store and apartments. Because of its relevance through many eras of Albuquerque’s development, the Painted Lady has been and continues to be popular with locals and visitors alike, including, — allegedly, — Billy the Kid, KOB reports. The owner, Jesse Herron, has stated that there are three spirits occupying the property – two women and one man – and that they are not friendly, KOB reports. They are said to have pestered employees, attacked

animals and even followed Herron back to his own home. However, the aggressive spirits don’t scare all patrons away, as hunting for ghosts is one of the main draws of the Painted Lady. Visitors who are searching for an active paranormal hotspot, and don’t mind some dark and bizarre energy, should consider paying a visit to the Painted Lady. It can be found at 1100 Bellamah Ave, in the Old Town neighborhood. Chapel of Our Lady of Guadalupe The Chapel of Our Lady of Guadalupe is a historic adobe chapel built by Sister Giotto Moots and her order in 1971. Located in the heart of Old Town, this chapel welcomes ceremonies and celebrations from all denominations.
The chapel is said to be occupied by a spirit called The Lady in Black. Those who have seen her say that she prays and sobs, wandering both throughout the building and on the patio, according to Visit Albuquerque. Spotting her is rumored to be especially likely during tragic events in Albuquerque. Though she is said to be one of the most terrifying spirits in haunted Albuquerque, she is also said to mourn for the losses of others and pray with visitors, as KOAT reports. The Chapel of Our Lady of Guadalupe is located at 404 San Felipe St.
most nights, beginning at 8 p.m. for all ages parties and at 10 p.m. for parties of adults. The tour brings guests to different haunted locations around Old Town, supported by its history and testimonials from those who have visited before. The tour guides encourage guests to bring along their digital cameras and participate in some friendly ghost-hunting. Sadie Hopkins is a freelance reporter for the Daily Lobo.

Lobo men’s basketball has seven new faces ready to play By Ryan Grossetete @DailyLobo The University of New Mexico has added seven new players to the men’s basketball roster this year, alongside a contract extension to men’s basketball Head Coach Richard Pitino until the 2027-28 season. Pitino has helped the Lobos achieve a 20-win season last year – the best since 2014 – and a postseason appearance. Last year, the Lobos finished with a 8-10 record within the Mountain West conference, making it two games in the MW Tournament before losing to Utah State. UNM has signed three guards, three forwards and one center. This leaves half of the roster remaining from last season.
Guards Shane Douma-Sanchez and Tru Washington are both freshmen, and Jermal Baker Jr. is a transfer from Fresno State University. Transfers Baker Jr., Mustapha Amzil and Isaac Mushila all had high minutes from their prior teams. Amzil had 19 starts with about 30 minutes per game, Baker Jr. had 28 starts with 31.8 minutes and Mushila had 33 starts with 27.1 minutes per contest. Amzil averaged 9.3 points and 4.8 rebounds per game with 44.2 % shooting. Baker Jr. averaged 12.5 points, 3 rebounds and 2.9 assists per game while shooting 39.2 % and Mushila averaged 14.5 points, about 10 rebounds per game on 53.7% from the field. Forwards Deraje Agbaosi, Amzil and Mushila are all transfers. Amzil is from the University of Dayton, Agbaosi is from the

Head coach for the Lobos Richard Pitino assesses the court during the game at The Pit on, Feb. 7
University of North Alabama and Mushila transferred from Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi. The Lobos also brought in four-star recruit freshman JT Toppin – the reigning 4A Texas player of the year. The center transfer Nelly Junior Joseph is from Iona University. He started in all 35 games that Iona played. With the addition of Joseph, there will be a dedicated center starter for the Lobos and more defense at the rim. Last season at Iona, he averaged 14.9 points, grabbed 9.3 boards, 1.5 blocks and shot 55% from the field. He also played against the eventual NCAA tournament champs, playing the University of Connecticut in the first round of the NCAA Tournament last season. UConn ended up winning and taking home the National Championship for March Madness. With a new backcourt of Jaelen
House and Jamal Mashburn Jr., the Lobos can expect great scoring and great on-ball defense at the perimeter. House was ranked second in the nation for steals, averaging 2.69 steals per game last season. Mashburn was named first Team All-Mountain West by coaches with 19.1 points and 2.1 assists per game. House was named to the second Team All-Mountain West with 16.9 points and 4.7 assists per game. Both were named to the All-preseason team going into this season. With the departure of KJ Jenkins, sophomore Donovan Dent will step into the sixth man role for the guards. Last season, he averaged 5.6 points per game and 2.3 assists. Dent was a menace on defense, being second in the team in steals and third in blocks. If the Lobos follow a starting lineup of three guards and two forwards like
last season, Pitino will have a tough decision for who will be starting and who will come off the bench for the first couple of games. The Lobos had their first exhibition game against Colorado State University Pueblo at The Pit on Oct. 26. Ryan Grossetete is a freelance reporter at the Daily Lobo.
