Lobo Talk dives into the future of both the Men's and Women's basketball programs with Head Coaches Eric Olen and Don Bradbury. Coach Olen provides an update on the progress of guard Deyton Albury in balancing his aggressive rim pressure with team playmaking, noting the team is showing encouraging signs of growth. He celebrates the rapid development of freshman Jake Hall, who has already tied a Lobo record set by Kenny Thomas, surpassing coach expectations. Olen also confirms Tomislav Buljan is healthy and ready for their upcoming game against a top-50 opponent.​Coach Bradbury shares his excitement about the team's trajectory, the most he's felt since the 2021 championship, thanks to his strong freshman classes. He praises Natalie Padilla's progression and details the plan to ease Clarissa Craig back into limited minutes. Looking ahead to their tough Arizona opponent, Bradbury states their ability to score in transition will be key to disrupting the opponent's fast-paced attack, despite needing to improve their own transition offense execution.
