Lobo hoops: UNLV transfer Johnson finding her way in UNM’s system
UNM women’s basketball coach Mike Bradbury talks with Nia Johnson, center, and Aniyah Augmon during a recent practice. (Mike Sandoval for the Journal)Saturday was about introductions for the University of New Mexico women’s basketball team.
The Lobos held an open 10 a.m. scrimmage at the Pit and made a show of it. Players were introduced as they came through colorful fog at the bottom of the Pit ramp to the applause of roughly 500 fans who turned out for the brunch-time affair.
It was the introduction as Lobos for seven newcomers, but some (New Mexico natives Amaya Brown, Jaelyn Bates and Natalia Chavez) know all about playing in the Pit from their high school days.
