No time for a Saturday letdown.
That was the message coach Mike Bradbury delivered to his University of New Mexico women’s basketball team almost immediately after the Lobos finished off a hard-fought victory over Wyoming on Thursday night.
UNM hosts struggling San Jose State on Saturday, but it’s not a game the Lobos (16-11, 8-6 Mountain West) can afford to look past. New Mexico comes into the game in sixth place in the conference standings but just a game out of third in the loss column.
With four games remaining – three of them against the bottom three teams in the MWC standings – UNM has a prime opportunity to move up.
