After a sloppy first half, the University of New Mexico women’s basketball team cruised to an 83-61 victory over UC Irvine in the team’s second game of the Thanksgiving tournament at Dreamstyle Arena.
In the first half, the Lobos (6-0) commuted 12 turnovers, with seven of those coming from senior guard Cherise Beynon. The team’s season average, though, was only 9.8 per game, so to see them commit that much in the frame alone wasn’t a pretty sight.
Head coach Mike Bradbury took the blame for Beynon’s 11 total turnovers in the game, saying that a lot of them were his fault since he put his senior guard in bad positions.
