The University of New Mexico and UTEP women’s basketball teams have been a study in contrasts in recent seasons.
This year not so much.
The Lobos (8-4) and Miners (7-1) have a fair amount in common heading into Sunday’s matchup at the Pit. Both teams have potent offenses: UNM averages 74.5 points per game, UTEP scores 73.3. Both teams swept New Mexico State this season (their only common opponent), and both had to come from behind late to win in Las Cruces.
Even these similarities represent a shift in the series, which the Lobos have dominated in Mike Bradbury’s coaching tenure.
