New Mexico Lobos Set to Battle Wyoming Cowgirls at The Pit in Albuquerque

As the New Mexico Lobos prepare to host the Wyoming Cowgirls at The Pit, fans are buzzing with anticipation for what promises to be an electrifying game of Women's Basketball. The upcoming clash scheduled for January 17th will showcase a battle of strategy and skill, with both teams eager to claim victory on the court.


Wyoming Cowboys VS New Mexico Lobos

The Lobos have been showing a consistent performance lately, as seen in their recent games. On December 22nd against Gonzaga Bulldogs, despite a loss with a score of 56-67, they demonstrated resilience and potential. Their scoring was spread evenly across all quarters which indicates a stable offense but also highlighted areas needing improvement such as field goal percentage which stood at just 34 percent.


In contrast, during their December 17th game against Western New Mexico Mustangs at home in The Pit, the Lobos secured an impressive win with a score of 71-47. Their defense was particularly noteworthy; they managed to steal the ball 16 times and capitalized on turnovers by scoring 25 points off them. This aggressive defensive play combined with scoring over one-third of their three-point attempts suggests that when they find their rhythm, they can dominate both ends of the floor.


Furthermore, on December 10th against Hampton Lady Pirates again at home ground – The Pit – UNM came out on top with a scoreline reading 68-55. They showed exceptional teamwork dishing out 20 assists and maintaining an assist-to-turnover ratio above one (1.67), indicating smart ball movement and decision-making.


The Cowgirls will certainly not make it easy for UNM though; they bring their own set of skills and strategies that could pose challenges for the Lobos' defense. It is crucial that UNM leverages its home-court advantage and continues to build upon its defensive strengths while improving shot selection to increase field goal percentages.


With this matchup looming on the horizon, fans should expect intense competition as both teams vie for dominance on this prestigious stage. It's going to be about who can maintain composure under pressure and execute their game plan more effectively.


For those wanting to witness this thrilling encounter between New Mexico Lobos and Wyoming Cowgirls live from Albuquerque's iconic venue - mark your calendars! Tip-off is set for January 17th at The Pit; unfortunately no broadcast networks have been announced yet but stay tuned for any updates regarding where you can catch all the action unfold.
