Or is it 14?
The big news out of Lobo men’s basketball on Wednesday was the program, for now, has a roster for the 2021-22 season that no longer exceeds the NCAA’s maximum scholarship limit of 13.
New head coach Richard Pitino confirmed that sophomore Kurt Wegscheider, a 6-foot-5 sophomore guard from Central African Republic who played in 36 games the past two seasons for the Lobos, and 7-1 Assane Ndiaye, a center who was with the team this past season but was never cleared to play in a game, have entered the NCAA transfer portal and will leave the program.
