Donovan Dent, Richard Pitino’s top New Mexico scorer, commits to Mick Cronin’s UCLA Bruins
WATCH: Xavier’s season ends in NCAA Tournament loss to Illinois
Xavier’s season came to an end in Milwaukee Friday night after an 86-73 loss to No. 6 Illinois at Fiserv Forum.
Many Xavier Musketeers fans hoped new head coach Richard Pitino would bring his leading scorer at New Mexico this past season, 6-foot-2 guard Donovan Dent, to XU.
Dent, considered one of the best players available in the transfer portal, announced via Instagram Friday night that he’s headed to UCLA to play for Mick Cronin’s Bruins. Dent is from California.
Joe Tipton reported via Twitter/X that Dent chose UCLA over Kentucky and Gonzaga.
Dent, the Mountain West Conference Player of the Year, ranked 12th in Division I in scoring with 20.4 points per game. He had 17 points on 8-of-13 from the field and eight assists in New Mexico’s 72-64 win against the Bruins in November.
Dent scored 21 points in the Lobos’ NCAA tournament win over Marquette, and 14 points in their Round of 32 loss to Michigan State.

UNM plans to build new gates along Central
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – The University of New Mexico plans to build new gates at four campus entrances along Central that will close nightly.
The gates will replace manual barriers in a project expected to cost about $1.5 million.
The Board of Regents approved the security upgrades for the UNM campus.
University officials said the gates will automatically close nightly from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m.
The gates will go in near Princeton Drive, Stanford Drive, Yale Boulevard and Terrace Street on the south end of campus.
A current rendering shows the gate completely blocking the road. Officials said the change will reduce unauthorized traffic and allow police officers to focus more effectively on prevention and response.
Construction will start in May. University officials hope to finish the project by September.
