The University of New Mexico women’s basketball team picked up quite a bit of hardware Sunday, but not the trophy the Lobos really want.
UNM earned a strong share of the Mountain West’s all-conference spoils, getting three first-team selections, one honorable mention and one berth apiece on the all-defensive and all-freshman teams. The second-place Lobos got more first-team picks than any of the league’s other 10 programs.
But New Mexico only participated in a short practice session Sunday as the Mountain West tournament tipped off at UNLV’s Thomas & Mack Center. UNM earned a first-round bye and will face No.
