Herron recounts many of the best players and games in this celebration of one of the best-known facilities in the United States.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith almost two hundred color photographs, this illustrative explosion shows you the players, the plays, the coaches, and the sold-out crowds dressed in red. You can recall the colorful nicknames: Petie Gibson, Marvin \"Automatic\" Johnson, and, of course, \"Stormin' Norman\" Ellenberger. This stunning work also contains extensive statistics that will not disappoint--like who took the Lobos to the most postseason contests.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHerron does not overlook women's basketball, a standout sport at UNM, nor does he omit the great non-UNM entertainment that has happened at the Pit: the NMAA state high school basketball tournament, the Gathering of Nations, boxing matches, bull riding, concerts, and more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 168\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.8 x 12.2 x 10.2 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 15, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47505569644722,"sku":"9780826359407","price":43.15,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/3891\/1666\/files\/F54DZRFw1k9780826359407_daf7dcb2-1e43-46fe-ae23-878107641f1a.jpg?v=1779535597","url":"https:\/\/box.dadyminds.org\/products\/fifty-years-at-the-pit-the-university-of-new-mexicos-legendary-venue-hardcover","provider":"DADYMINDS BOX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
