I believe NMJC is in a rebuilding mode. After winning the 2005 NJCAA title, they lost Coach Birmingham to U 0f NM and then they lost their head coach again this past summer.
They were sanctioned with a double forfeit, after a brawl with Weatherford JC, in the Reg 5 tourney here in Lubbock. Then they were penalized by the NJCAA, for the 2009 season, with shortened fall and spring schedules.
I watched them play in the fall, at TTU, they were pretty good.
