History

The team was founded in 2004, they only played one season before being dissolved. On 11 June 2024, the team was presented at a press conference as an expansion team in the Liga Nacional de Baloncesto Profesional (LNBP), with Giovanni Martínez serving as team president. It was also announced by Lilia Cedillo Ramírez, the rector of the BUAP, that the Lobos Plateados would be playing at the Arena BUAP. They would also be the first professional basketball team to play in the state since the Ángeles de Puebla in 2019.[2][3][4]

Lobos Plateados hired Puerto Rican coach Allans Colón as the team's inaugural head coach in late June, but was replaced by Claudio Arrigoni at the beginning of September due to poor results.[5][6][7]
