Women's basketball: New Mexico opens conference play against wounded Wolfpack

The time has come for New Mexico to stop dwelling on its second-half collapse which merited New Mexico State’s season sweep over the Lobos.

Head coach Yvonne Sanchez has bigger plans with conference play on the horizon.

“Now it's season two and we want to get better every day,” Sanchez said. “But don’t kid yourself, we want to win a championship.”

UNM’s journey will begin with Wednesday’s night conference tipoff at 7:30 p.m. in Reno, Nevada against a Wolfpack team that has seen quite a change in personnel. New Mexico’s posts will no longer have to square off against Mimi Mungedi, the 6-foot-8 rebounding machine whose eligibility card expired last season.
