I'm a Red Sox fan, so I do believe in curses.
I just don't think so highly of myself as a sports writer that, I, too wield the power to jinx people.
Well, tell that to Dionne Marsh.
I wrote a feature about her Wednesday filled with stats showing she's an even stronger scorer in Mountain West Conference play.
UNM Women's Basketball: When the going gets tough, top scorer Marsh gets tougher
Marsh was averaging 16.4 points per game and is the core of the Lobos' offense.
A few hours after the story was published, she only managed five points in the Lobos' 59-52 loss at Wyoming.
It was the first time in her career she did not reach double figures in Mountain West Conference game and snapped her 11-game double-figure scoring streak this season.
Lobos coach Don Flanagan blamed the drought on rushed shots.
He believes in the almighty jinx, so I think I'm pretty much off the hook.
