Sports Desk: Lobo women suffer first basketball defeat in a tale of two halves

NEW MEXICO (KRQE) – The Lobo women's basketball team scored well below their nation-leading 95.4 points per game in a 78-60 loss at UNLV Friday. The setback was the first for the team this season. The Lobos led by as much as 15 points in the game, they even took a 12 point lead into the half.

The Lobos got off to a bad start in the second half and was barely clinging to the lead when the fourth quarter started. That is the quarter where everything seemed to fall apart for the Lobos. UNLV outscored the Lobos 43-17 in the second half. That includes a 21 to 4 fourth quarter. "You know, we called a couple of time outs, tried to get organized," said Head Coach Mike Bradbury. "We actually got a basket out of one that I thought might spark us a little bit. Then we just, we couldn't guard them off the dribble and that's what got us."
