WNIT gives Lobos one more chance to play in the Pit

A Pit encore wasn’t necessarily on its agenda, but the University of New Mexico women’s basketball team intends to make the most of it.

The Lobos will be back on their home floor Wednesday night, hosting Grand Canyon in round one of the Women’s National Invitation Tournament. It’s unquestionably a consolation prize for a team that had NCAA Tournament aspirations, but it’s also an opportunity to finish a successful season on a high note.

The Lobos (24-9) appear to have shaken off the disappointment of last week’s 82-71 loss to Colorado State in the Mountain West tournament semifinals.
