Western Michigan, the New Mexico women's basketball team’s first opponent of the season, isn’t an easy one, head coach Mike Bradbury said at Thursday’s press conference.
And he’s right.
In comparison to last season’s home opener against Fairleigh Dickinson, where the Lobos won by nearly 30 points, the Western Michigan Broncos are no slouch.
Just a season ago, the Broncos posted a 19-13 record overall — and nearly won a game at then-No. 21 ranked Michigan State in overtime.
Not only that, but Western Michigan is returning three starters in junior forward Breanna Mobley, senior center Marley Hill and junior guard Deja Wimby.
