LAS CRUCES, N.M. – The NM State men’s basketball program announced Monday afternoon that Bally Sports Arizona will hold all 14 contests at home during the 2022-23 season. The package includes the full schedule of 13 home games plus the only exhibition game against Western New Mexico.

Aggie fans across the country and across the state can see their Aggies. I’ll remind everyone that our TV exposure has been outstanding, we need a tremendous home crowd to continue to build our big home court advantage.
