Junior point guard Katie Montgomery, who is recovering from a sprained ankle, did not practice the past two days but is expected to play Saturday afternoon against Wyoming.
Lobos coach Don Flanagan said if Montgomery moves well in Saturday morning's shoot-around, she will start. If not, she will come off the bench and senior guard Judy Vogt will start in her place.
Montgomery injured her right ankle in the second half of the Lobos' loss at TCU Wednesday. She was heavily taped and returned to the game but was not at full strength. She said the ankle swelled after the game and during the flight back to Albuquerque.
"It took awhile to get the swelling down and it feels alright," she said. "I think I can play, but I just have to wait and see what happens."
Montgomery had been averaging 39 minutes per game going into Wednesday's game at TCU. She is the team's sole true point guard.
Should the Lobos have found a reliable backup point guard during the off-season or was it best to wait until recruit Amy Beggin comes in next season to give the Lobos more depth? Post your comments here.
