UNM’s Jake Hall off to Historic Start in 2026-27 Season

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — UNM second year guard Jake Hall is off to an historic start in the 2026-27 season. Coming off a 39-point performance against Little rock which was a career-high, Hall is currently second in the nation in points per game averaging 30.7.

Head Coach Eric Olen said that Jake’s scoring is big part of UNM’s success this year and he’s only getting better because he’s not just relying on three’s but getting to the rim and doing damage in the midrange as well.

“I think it’s a sign of a really good player who’s not one-dimensional and continues to improve. Jake is a better player right now than he was this time last year. I think his gam evolved through the season last year. I think he had a great off-season. He’s incredibly hard-working who is never satisfied with where he’s at and is continuing to improve”, said Olen.

The Lobos are back in action tomorrow when they travel to face Santa Clara (4-0. Tip-off is scheduled for 8:00 p.m. and will be streaming on ESPN+.
