There’s no need to throw out the history involving the University of New Mexico women’s basketball team and Saturday’s opponent.
There is no history.
The Lobos will visit northeast Texas for a road game at Texas A&M Commerce — a first-year Division I opponent that has faced Eastern New Mexico 69 times but has never faced UNM or New Mexico State.
The Lions (1-3) are still getting accustomed to the top level of women’s college basketball, and they’re getting a crash course against quality opponents. Commerce, which will play in the Southland Conference this season, dropped competitive road games at Houston, SMU and UT Arlington before returning home to face UNM.
