This one feels more like a rivalry game.
The University of New Mexico women’s basketball team hosts New Mexico State in the Pit on Sunday with some unusual circumstances in play. Thanks to NMSU’s 73-64 overtime win over the Lobos in Las Cruces on Nov. 15, the Aggies have a chance to sweep the annual two-game series — something that hasn’t happened since 2015.
Even that seven-year span hardly begins to describe how UNM-dominated the series has been in recent memory. Since 1996-97 (Don Flanagan’s second season coaching the Lobos), New Mexico is 43-6 against NMSU. The Aggies’ 52-47 win in the Pit in 2015 remains their only victory in Albuquerque since 1995.
