Related Topics: Minnesota Golden Gophers

The Lobo women's basketball team is looking to turn its season around in the midst of a four-game homestand as it seeks a second straight win against the Minnesota Golden Gophers at home.

The Lobos (3-4) took a convincing 64-49 win over Southern Methodist on Saturday. SMU entered the game with an impressive 5-2 record, but UNM protected home court while celebrating 50 years of WisePies Arena/the Pit.

The team will want to continue that trend when the game takes place at WisePies Arena on Tuesday, Dec. 6.

The Lobos will face some of the same challenges SMU presented, as Minnesota (5-3) brings physical play and the momentum of a 111-91 victory over Detroit Mercy.
