“They can win by 5 points or less,” Dough Bogart said.

Inside the theater, all the seats were filled with NMSU basketball supporters. Many enjoying the idea of getting to watch the game on the big screen.

“It’s just a fun atmosphere and it allows us to be right there with them,” said Dina Calhoun.
