ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — It’s an open shot at redemption, but can the UNM women’s basketball team knock it down?
The fifth-seeded Lobos begin pursuit of a Mountain West tournament title today when they take on No. 4 San Jose State in a quarterfinal at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas, Nev. It’s an opportunity to finish with a flourish after an up-and-down regular season.
UNM coach Yvonne Sanchez and her players come in on a two-game winning streak and feel good about their chances in a tournament where they’ve historically played well. New Mexico is 27-10 in previous MWC tourneys and has won the championship five times.
