A familiar rival with a decidedly new look awaits the University of New Mexico women’s basketball team Tuesday night.
Coming off a hard-fought 68-61 win over Houston on Saturday, the Lobos head for Las Cruces to face New Mexico State for the first of their two annual battles. The teams meet again in Albuquerque on Dec. 11.
Round one presents something of a scouting challenge for UNM coach Mike Bradbury and his staff. The Aggies (1-1) are in their first season under coach Jody Adams and, thus far, have looked little like the NMSU teams of recent seasons.
