As part of the NCAA Men's Final Four fan cutout program, all Division I athletics directors were provided with four free cutouts that will be displayed in the stands. These cutouts are intended to showcase school spirit while enhancing the atmosphere and visual presence in Lucas Oil Stadium. Each DI member institution was provided an an opportunity to feature their Final Four hometown legends such as alumni and local community leaders. 

For NM State, those Final Four hometown legends include Pistol Pete, the late coach Lou Henson, the late Aggie basketball great Jimmy Collins and the late Las Cruces School District Superintendent Dr. Karen Trujillo.
