New Mexico Set to Host NCAA WBB Tournament in 2011The NCAA Division I Women's Basketball Committee has selected The Pit in Albuquerque, N.M., as one of the sites for the first- and second-round for the 2011 NCAA Division I Women's Basketball Championship. The Pit has hosted the event numerous times throughout the years with the last time being 2009. UNM was scheduled to host this year but elected to give up the bid due to construction on the historic venue. The 2011 NCAA Tournament will be sixth time UNM has hosted the event.

STEVENS: Lobo Women's Basketball is Loaded With Talent and DepthWhen it comes to tossing out a perimeter player or three to join senior Amy Beggin on The Pit's floor, Lobo coach Don Flanagan probably could shut his eyes, reach into a hat, and pull out a deadly lineup of talent, scorers and in-your-face motivation. Simply put, Flanagan's Lobos are loaded on the rim behind Beggin, UNM's fearless leader and preseason first team All-Mountain West Conference pick. Take your pick of these perimeter guns: Amanda Best, Sara Halasz, Nikki Nelson, Georonika Jackson, Porche Torrance, Lauren Taylor and Eileen Weissmann.

BEGGIN BLOG: The Season Has Officially StartedThe season is finally here and we are excited to be having full practices again. The team looks really strong and I'm encouraged by what I've seen to this point. We have a lot of things to improve on but it's early. A little work ethic and determination will have this team back into the NCAA Tournament. I can't wait for the season but we do have a scrimmage Saturday. I'll keep you posted but until next time thanks for the support. 10/16/2009
STEVENS: Lobos Have Howling Good Time in Santa Ana Star CenterThe turnout for the University of New Mexico's 2009 Howl was great. The Lobos didn't look too bad either. A Lobo-embracing crowd of approximately 3,500 ventured to a cool and far Northwest corner of Rio Rancho and snuggled into the warm Santa Ana Star Center to welcome Steve Alford's Lobo men and Don Flanagan's Lobo women into the 2009-10 season. "The fans are the greatest here and I hope we've earned some new ones," said Flanagan. "It's a great place to play and it's second only to The Pit." Alford said he wasn't surprised by the crowd. He said Lobo fans don't really care when or where New Mexico plays hoops. They just want to see a ball rolled out for Lobos to play with.
