Lobo fans gathered around the city to watch the team’s match-up against South Carolina’s Clemson Tigers Friday afternoon for the University of New Mexico’s first game in a NCAA basketball tournament in a decade.
More than 100 people flocked to Civic Plaza where the city had set up a projector at the Al Hurrican Pavilion and rows of chairs for supporters.
UNM had been favored to win going into the game, but ended up losing by 21 points. The Lobos’ loss means they will not be advancing in the tournament.
