    Stevens: Lobos roll SMU 66-51, Play At Oregon Tuesday

    There is no doubt that there is something about The Pit that brings out the best in Don Flanagan's Lobos. Maybe there is something about the WNIT, too. The Lobos played some of their best ball in the 2009 Women's National Invitation Tournament and did the same Wednesday night in The Pit in stomping the Southern Methodist Mustangs, 66-51, in first-round action of the 2010 WNIT. "I like what we did. I liked our offense," said Flanagan after the 15-point romp that pushed UNM into the WNIT's second round. UNM (19-12) will play the winner of Thursday's Oregon-Eastern Washington game being played at Oregon. Wednesday: Lobos 66, Southern Methodist 51
    Up Next: Lobos vs. Oregon/Eastern Washington winner, TBA

    Stevens: WNIT's Silver Lining Brings Lobos Back To The Pit

    In the "it-is-what-it-is" department, if you look for a silver lining in the Lobos' Women's National Invitation Tournament (WNIT) invite, it's definitely there: For Lobo fans, for Lobo players. The Pit gets to embrace its beloved Lobos at least one more time in a good fight against a quality foe. The Southern Methodist Mustangs are not a rented mule the WNIT is bringing in to be a first-round sacrificial lamb. It's also a feel-good time for UNM's four seniors -- Amy Beggin, Georonika Jackson, Valerie Kast and Eileen Weissmann - who get to strut their stuff in front of their loyal and passionate fans and maybe even whip up on some Mustangs.

    Wednesday: Southern Methodist at Lobos, 7 p.m., The Pit
