The race for first place in this season’s Mountain West women’s basketball race may well go down to the wire.
It may also be a two-horse race.
The University of New Mexico Lobos can all but assure that either UNLV or UNM will win the league’s regular-season crown on Saturday. The Lobos (20-6, 11-2) visit third-place Nevada (15-8, 7-4) with an opportunity to effectively deal the Wolf Pack out of the title chase.
With a win, UNM would lead Nevada by three games in the loss column and hold a tiebreaker advantage with four regular-season games remaining.
