ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP)—New Mexico and basketball coach Steve Alford have agreed on a contract extension through 2020.
The school’s athletic department says details of the extension will be announced when the contract is complete.
Alford is 76-26 in three seasons at New Mexico, the highest winning percentage in program history for at least 100 games.
Athletic director Paul Krebs says Alford has raised the profile of the basketball program in the Mountain West Conference and nationally.
This season, New Mexico finished 30-5 while setting a school record for wins and playing in the NCAA tournament for the first time in five years.
