Dennis Latta (Albuquerque Tribune) wonders "Will hot Stanford paint Lobos' faces a deeper red?

After the Lobos' loss to Arizona, coach Don Flanagan is determined not, "Our players seemed scared of Arizona," he said. "It won't be like that when we play Tuesday night. They'll be scared of me."

Latta points out that one advantage for UNM will be the crowd. Lobo women's basketball crowds at The Pit have ranked in the NCAA Top Five in average attendance for the past seven years. The Lobos are averaging 7,934 fans over the first eight home games of the season. There were 8,813 at The Pit for the Arizona game. It's likely there'll be more than 10,000 for the Stanford game. But then, the people in the stands don't score any baskets.

It should be interesting. Be sure to listen at 6:00.
