Call Tuesday night’s win a learning experience.
The University of New Mexico women’s basketball team took lessons away – both good and bad – from its 88-71 victory over Prairie View A&M at the Pit.
The plus side: Shaiquel McGruder scored 30 points, LaTora Duff racked up 17 points and 12 assists (all career highs) and UNM rolled up 38 fast-break points while improving to 3-0. When they were locked in, the Lobos gave an announced crowd of 4,250 plenty to cheer about.
The minus side: UNM was not locked in for much of the second half and the visiting Panthers (1-2) made the Lobos pay.
