There’s nothing typical about this one.
The University of New Mexico women’s basketball team tips off Mountain West play Tuesday when it hosts San Jose State at the Pit. Tipoff is set for 2 p.m.
Glancing at the schedule, Tuesday’s matchup may appear to be just another UNM conference opener – the first of 20 league games scheduled before the annual MWC tournament in March. But this one’s different.
First, the Lobos (9-4) and Spartans (3-8) tipping off in the afternooon is rare for a midweek game at the Pit. The early start was set because UNM’s men were scheduled to host Colorado State on Tuesday evening – a contest since postponed because of COVID-19 concerns within CSU’s program.
