MEMPHIS New Mexico head coach Richard Pitino, when asked after the loss to Clemson if he anticipates losing any players to the transfer portal this offseason: "How could you not? They're all free agents. We'll have conversations with them next week. I'm sure their people are reaching out to them. They've got all the freedom in the world right now. And if we do lose somebody, the beauty of it is you can go get somebody."And it's just part of the ever-changing landscape. I don't think anyone likes it. But it is what it is. We'll go home tonight, visit with some guys throughout the week next week and give a little time off, get back to work. But if somebody leaves, it's not going to be an indication of what's wrong with them. It's happening everywhere. We had an amazing year, and they've got the choice to go look elsewhere, fine, we'll support them, and we'll go find a way to replace them."
