The Lobos, who play at Cal State-Northridge at 8 p.m. Tuesday, haven’t started the season anywhere but 37-feet below New Mexico soil in more than a decade (a 2007 win over Colorado in Boulder). In fact, in the 53-year existence of the Pit, the Lobos have opened the season in a gym other than their own just eight times, going 5-1 in true road games (it lost at Colorado in 1975 to start the 1975-76 season) and 1-1 starting the season on neutral courts (a win in a Hawaii tournament to start the 1986-87 season and a loss in an Alaska tournament to start the 1983-84 season).
