With one notable exception, the UNM women’s basketball team did not bring its ‘A’ game to Las Vegas, Nevada on Saturday night.
It was a C-minus effort at best.
Host UNLV, meanwhile, put up an A-plus performance for most of the night, shooting the lights out and running the Lobos out of Cox Pavilion in third quarter of a 79-63 romp.
The Mountain West-leading Lady Rebels (16-2, 6-0) did what they do best, pounding the ball inside to star post Desi-Rae Young early and often, then taking advantage of open looks when Young forced the defense to help out inside.
