You know it’s going to be a good night when …
The University of New Mexico women’s basketball team offered some definitive conclusions to that statement Thursday night in Laramie, Wyoming. Shaiquel McGruder provided a notable one, scoring 26 points to help the Lobos earn an 85-76 victory over Wyoming at the Arena Auditorium.
McGruder’s big night wasn’t necessarily surprising. She entered the game as UNM’s leading scorer and posted a 30-point game earlier this season.
A bit less expected was that McGruder hit three of the Lobos’ 13 3-pointers, going 3-for-4 from long range where she had hit just 2-of-11 all season prior to Thursday.
