But you can call me NAT for short. I’m a non-non alum who moved here after I graduated from Clemson. I love March Madness for matchups like these. My boss and a few of my coworkers are NMSU grads and I never thought we would match up against each other in anything. Here is my perspective on the match up after following NM sports for a few years.
College basketball is the third most popular sport in the state, behind anything Mr. Holly Holmes does in MMA and bull riding. That’s not a silly jokey comment either, it’s true. A local sports radio host said that these next two days are his favorite sporting days of the year. I assume it’s because the round of 64 games are the biggest, most meaningful games either of the two NM universities will participate in across all sports.
I like NMSU and their fans; they are laid back, polite, and enjoy the good times in their athletic programs without being disillusioned about who they really are. One good year wont set the tone for their fan base for eternity. And NMSU fans know that they own the state in sports much like Clemson. The University of New Mexico is in Albuquerque, which is slummy and full of crime, analogous to Columbia. UNM fans spit their dip at players who don’t make every shot, scream profanities during entire games, and don’t take their cowboy hats off for the national anthem. Analogous to SCAR.
This NMSU team is decent, they beat up on pretty bad teams most of the year. After last season the NMSU coach, Paul Wier, left to coach at UNM and coached a really bad UNM team to the conference tourney finals. I was impressed with how much better the team was after a season of his coaching. The NMSU team is still the one he built and coached. Clemson is more organized and their set plays are a huge contrast from the fast and loose style NMSU’s guards play. Should be fun, I am extremely excited to tell my boss and coworkers how much more inferior NMSU is to Clemson. Go Tigers!

Thanks for reporting in Nat. I’m sure the Tigers will give you lots to boast about in the coming weeks. Go Tigers

Hey NAT, native New Mexican/Clemson alum here

I was born and raised in Hobbs. Down there, basketball is #1 -- not a close second. One brother went to NMSU, but I escaped and graduated from Clemson. It's nice to see the home state do well, but there's no doubt who I'll be pulling for tomorrow night.
Thanks for checking in and for the analysis. And don't read too much into the TNet comments. It's pretty weird here.
