New Mexico women’s basketball is starting a new chapter with head coach Amy Eagan stepping in after a strong turnaround run at Lindenwood. In this conversation, she breaks down why Albuquerque felt like the right fit, a college-driven sports town where the absence of pro teams fuels a deep, year-round energy for the Lobos. With strong attendance numbers, a loyal season ticket base, and a city that shows up, Eagan talks about why this feels like a place where a program can really take hold.

She also digs into what comes next inside “The Pit,” from roster building to staff decisions to setting a foundation for long-term success. It’s an inside look at how she plans to shape the culture early, recruit to the environment, and build something sustainable in a place where college basketball isn’t just followed, it’s felt.
