Down the Mountain West women’s basketball stretch they come.
With the regular season nearing its finish line, UNLV and the University of New Mexico have put some distance between themselves and the rest of the pack. Still, there’s plenty to be decided.
The Lobos (22-7, 13-3) begin their season-ending two-game road trip Wednesday at Fresno State (9-16, 5-9) in second place and likely to stay there. UNM is two games behind UNLV (22-4, 14-1) in the loss column and would need a series of favorable outcomes to track down the Rebels. More on that later.
But the Lobos have at least a two-game edge over everyone else and they will be the first team to finish regular-season play.
