    LAS VEGAS, Nev. — In order to make a big run in the postseason, the UNM women’s basketball team had to first make a little one. And the Lobos can thank second-year guard Sara Halasz and post player Valerie Kast for the nice little flicker they provided. Halasz helped UNM defeat Colorado State 67-54 in the first round of the Mountain West Conference Tournament on Tuesday.

If America was forced to fight its neighbors, would you support a war over water?
