The days of getting everyone into the game is over.
New Mexico head coach Yvonne Sanchez said she has given players opportunities to take advantage of, but simply haven’t gotten it done.
“You can’t play scared,” Sanchez said. “If you get taken out, you get taken out. So what? If you miss a shot, you miss a shot.”
Sanchez said the lack of self-assurance has given her a shorter list of players to call on. That rang true in UNM’s 73-70 victory over Utah State as only seven players received more than 10 minutes of playing time.
