Bowling Green woman at Lobo Shootout

●When: Today vs. New Mexico, 10 p.m.; tomorrow vs. San Diego or Utah State, 8 or 10 p.m.

●Records: BG is 3-3; New Mexico is 4-1; San Diego is 3-4; Utah State is 3-2.

●Last game: BG d. Winthrop, 74-52; New Mexico lost to Texas, 73-56; San Diego lost to Southern Cal, 68-47; Utah State d. Air Force, 72-68.

●Outlook: The Falcons continue their six-game road trip with a tough contest in "The Pit" at New Mexico. The Lobos only loss this season came against seventh-ranked Texas. Last season New Mexico made its third straight NCAA Tournament appearance after winning the Mountain West. Things may get a little easier tomorrow against San Diego, which won seven times last season, or Utah State, which had only five wins. The key for BG will be its ability to get untracked defensively, since the Falcons are scoring 75 points per contest.
