Hoping for better start, Lobo women host Utah State

Could new alarm clocks be in order, or perhaps a round of pregame energy drinks?

The University of New Mexico women’s basketball team is seeking solutions for a run of recent slow starts that have been, well, alarming.

The Lobos (20-7, 11-3 Mountain West) host Utah State at the Pit on Wednesday night to open their final two-game home stand of the regular season. It’s an opportunity for UNM to get its up-tempo mojo back after several uneven performances that have included one common thread – slow starts.

Saturday’s 77-70 loss at Nevada was the most glaring example.
