Saturday afternoon’s matchup at San Jose State didn’t go as planned for the University of New Mexico women’s basketball team.
In the team’s fourth conference appearance this season, the Lobos (15-2, 3-1 MW) lost their first Mountain West game to a below .500 Spartans team, who laid it on UNM in the second half to win, 95-86, at the Event Center.
After the Lobos garnered a 49-42 lead by halftime, the Spartans (5-10, 2-2 MW) outscored their opponent 53-37 in the second half.
But, in the first two minutes of the third quarter, SJSU came out firing.
