3-pointers fly when Lobo hits the court

When opposing teams watch game film on the UNM basketball team, there's one thing they will learn quickly: Don't play too much zone defense. The Lobos have come out the gate like a racehorse, in part because of their effectiveness from beyond the 3-point line.

Soccer's stingy defense cliches conference title

A look at the upcoming season

A seventh straight NCAA appearance: the ultimate goal for the UNM women's basketball team this season. The Lobos finished the 2006 season at 24-9 and made it to the first round of the NCAA tournament. As the winningest coach in UNM history, head coach Don Flanagan hopes to continue the streak this year. With two exhibition games and three regular-season contests under the team's belt, Flanagan has an idea of what the Lobos need to work on for the rest of the season.
