A relaxing Sunday afternoon in the Pit is not what the UNM women’s basketball team has in mind.
The Lobos will host San Diego in a WNIT second-round matchup with an opportunity to extend their season. Relaxation is not part of the equation.
New Mexico (25-9) brought plenty of energy to its home arena for Wednesday’s 92-72 opening-round win over Grand Canyon. Coach Mike Bradbury believes his team will need even more against the Toreros (17-14), a program UNM has not faced since 2004.
“They’re good,” Bradbury said, “very good defensively. They’ll press us, get up on us in the halfcourt and push the ball on offense.
