[3][4] The 1983-84 Lobos relied heavily on four senior starters, with only three other players contributing significant minutes, including freshman Scarborough.

[3] The Lobos won at #7 UCLA on the way to a 16–4 record, but they lost three games to top ten-ranked WAC rival UTEP, then appeared in the NIT, finishing the year 24–11.

The Lobos in 1984-85 were a young squad, starting three sophomores, including Scarborough and backcourt mate Hunter Greene.

Forward Johnny Brown turned in an All-WAC performance, but the other inside players were young, and the loss of Greene left a hole in the backcourt.

[3] The Lobos played well at The Pit, but they suffered mightily on the road, including blowout losses at #6 Georgetown and at Arizona.

[9] The Lobos beat Texas and Oklahoma State as they built a 17–5 record but then lost three straight on the road in a strong year for the WAC.

[3] In his career at New Mexico, Scarborough tallied the most steals in Lobo history, the fourth most assists, and the fifth most minutes played.

In 1993, he formed the New Mexico All-Stars, a program that travels around the state putting on basketball and fitness camps for under-privileged youths, focused on promoting education and discouraging kids from involvement in drugs and gangs.
