Tecnológico de Monterrey campus Laguna has invested 12 million pesos to renovate the Arena Borregos Santiago A. Garza de la Mora in Torreón, Coahuila, updating the facility with high-end sports flooring and multi-use equipment. To mark the reopening, a homecoming gathering of former and current basketball players has been called for Saturday, October 10, beginning at 9:30 a.m. local time.
The facility upgrade and subsequent EXATEC reunion bring together generations of athletes who competed for the Borregos Laguna men’s and women’s basketball programs. According to program announcements, the event will feature 3×3 basketball matches and a social gathering for alumni to reconnect at the freshly modernized campus venue.
Venue Overhaul Installs Certified International Sports Surface
The 12-million-peso overhaul of the venue centered on the installation of a new Pulastic Classic 90 sports surface in blue. This high-end flooring holds international certifications from major sports governing bodies, including the International Basketball Federation (FIBA), the International Handball Federation (IHF), and the International Volleyball Federation (FIVB).
Beyond the basketball court, the multi-purpose auditorium received comprehensive updates to its supporting infrastructure. Renovations included modernized audio systems, electrical wiring, and lifting equipment designed to accommodate high-level theatrical productions, robotics competitions such as FIRST, and institutional gatherings.
Borregos Laguna Basketball Program Wins Multiple Division Titles
Óscar Yander, who has coached the Borregos Laguna men’s basketball team since 2007, noted that the program has maintained a competitive edge across multiple collegiate leagues. Among the program’s milestones is the 2017 promotion to Division I of the Asociación de Básquetbol Estudiantil (ABE) after winning the Division II national title in Mérida, Yucatán, in a series of tightly contested games against prominent university programs.
Records also show past championship titles in the second and third divisions of the Comisión Nacional Deportiva Estudiantil de Instituciones Privadas (CONADEIP). Regionally, the men’s team has claimed 25 titles out of 27 tournaments in the Asociación Deportiva Universitaria de La Laguna (ADUL).
On the women’s side, the Borregos Laguna representative squad secured the CONADEIP Third Division national championship in Puebla during the first semester of 2026 under Antonio Ramírez.
Homecoming Event Invites Alumni for Matches and Gathering
The October 10 homecoming event opens at 9:30 a.m. at the Arena Borregos Santiago A. Garza de la Mora. Organizers structured the morning around informal 3×3 matches and a traditional social gathering known as an ambigú.
Coach Yander extended an open invitation to all former players, known as the EXATEC community, and current team members to participate in the activities. The program aims to draw participants from various eras to test their skills on the newly installed blue flooring and tour the renovated arena space.
