New Mexico has agreed to a five-year deal to make UC San Diego's Eric Olen the school's next head coach, sources told ESPN's Pete Thamel on Sunday.
Olen led UC San Diego to the NCAA tournament this year in the first season the school was eligible. The Tritons lost to Michigan 68-65 in the first round.
He's gone 51-17 the last two years, including 30-5 this season. The Tritons won the Big West this year, finishing 18-2 in conference play.
Olen replaces Richard Pitino, who left New Mexico to take the Xavier head coaching position.
The Lobos went 27-8 overall this season and won the Mountain West regular-season title. They defeated 7-seed Marquette in the first round of the NCAA tournament before losing to Michigan State in the second round.
