On this episode of Mountain West Insider on The Field of 68, Rob Dauster and Jeff Goodman are joined by New Mexico’s Tomislav Buljan, one of just 10 players in college basketball averaging a double-double this season. The Croatian big man opens up about his journey from Split to Albuquerque, adjusting to American college basketball, and the intensity of playing at The Pit.

Buljan discusses the cultural differences between European and American basketball, wild rivalries overseas, New Mexico’s passionate fan base, and what it means to compete for a Mountain West regular season title. He also shares insights on Croatia’s basketball culture, his all-time Croatian starting five, his future eligibility hopes, and why playing college basketball was always part of his dream.

With the Lobos controlling their destiny in the Mountain West race, Buljan reflects on sacrifice, development, and what it takes to win in March.
