New Mexico Breaks Ground: Ground was broken yesterday on the Lobo’s new practice facility adjacent to The Pit. The new facility, estimated at $4.2 million, will include three practice courts, a media theater for film sessions, full kitchen and hospitality room, coaching offices, and study areas for student-athletes. Down the road, Athletic Director Rudy Davalos is eyeing a $16 million overhaul of the Pit that will enable the school to host future NCAA tournament events. The practice facility is scheduled to be completed in mid-November. [6/04/05]
