The last time the New Mexico State Aggies men’s basketball team didn’t play in the figurative Battle of I-10 and Battle of I-25 against the UTEP Miners and UNM Lobos, respectively, was when the literal battles of World War II led to the cancellation of the 1942-43 and 1943-44 seasons.
As it stands now, it appears the rivalry games – at least the UTEP series – will fall victim to the uncertainty of scheduling in the COVID-19 impacted 2020-21 season.
