LAS CRUCES – After a year hiatus, the New Mexico State men's basketball team will play rival New Mexico twice in 2023-24.

Last year’s rivalry games were called off following former New Mexico State basketball player Mike Peake’s involvement in a fatal self-defense shooting of a UNM student on the New Mexico campus while the Aggies were in Albuquerque to play the Lobos.
