Twin sisters LaTora and LaTascya Duff decided Thursday to opt out of the Women’s National Invitation Tournament, bringing their careers with the University of New Mexico women’s basketball team to an end.
Lobos coach Mike Bradbury said the Duffs informed him Thursday morning they did not intend to participate in the tournament. UNM hosts Northern Arizona in a first-round WNIT game Thursday night.
Bradbury said sophomores Aniyah Augmon and Paula Reus will start in place of the Duff sisters, who started 31 of UNM’s 32 games this season, missing one game for family reasons.
“Tay and Tora have been great players and great members of this team,” Bradbury said.
