Mackenzie Curtis’ name has not appeared in this season’s box scores, but she’s definitely part of the show.
A 5-foot-9 sophomore guard for the University of New Mexico women’s basketball team, Curtis hasn’t played since the Lobos’ exhibition wins over West Texas A&M and Fort Lewis more than two months ago.
She’ll be on the bench again Wednesday night when UNM (9-7, 1-2 Mountain West) hosts Nevada (5-9, 2-1) for a 7 p.m. Mountain West showdown. Curtis has opted for a redshirt season after a hard collision at practice knocked her out for several games.
“It was a head-on collision with Amaya Brown,” Curtis recalled.
