Longtime Santa Fe New Mexican sports reporter James Barron joins "Conversations Different" to discuss what makes New Mexicans go crazy for high school basketball, especially in the north. He touches on how a lack of size for most teams has resulted in an emphasis on the fundamentals while also leading to an exciting brand of up-tempo basketball. Barron also talks about the passion for hoops on Native reservations, touches on some of most successful players and teams throughout history, and gives a brief outlook for local teams leading up to the state tournament.
