LAS CRUCES — For most of three quarters, southern New Mexico felt very much like a desert to the UNM women’s basketball team Tuesday night.
Then everything changed.
What had been a cakewalk for host New Mexico State suddenly turned into a dogfight. UNM stormed back from a 28-point deficit to force overtime but couldn’t quite escape the enormous hole. Soufia Inoussa hit a pair of dagger 3-pointers in the extra period and NMSU pulled out a wild 73-64 victory at the Pan American Center.
Inoussa finished with 14 points to lead the Aggies (2-1), who dominated the first 28 minutes but almost watched things slip away over the final 12.
