Freshman center Jaisa Nunn(44) breaks through Duquesne's defense at WisePies Arena Nov. 28. The Lobos are scheduled to play Pepperdine this Saturday at 2 p.m..
Coming off a big road win in Dallas, New Mexico had a week off to focus on key issues in the team’s game.
Head coach Yvonne Sanchez said Thursday the 63-58 victory over SMU was a pinnacle for the Lobos early in the season. Prior to the Dec. 5 game , UNM had lost consecutive contests for the first time in nearly 11 months.
“It was definitely a signature win for us in so many ways,” Sanchez said.
