The UNM women's basketball team made it from back from Oklahoma City by way of Denver very late last night, but coach Don Flanagan will be spending New Year's Eve alone in Amarillo after attempting to drive home from Oklahoma City.

Flanagan said the road got icey around Amarillo and he thinks several wrecks caused highway patrolmen to close the road that had briefly re-opened. The players didn't exactly have it easy coming home. Their bags, which included all their practice gear, didn't arrive with them last night. Four players' cars also were stuck in the ice and snow and could not be moved last night.

The team will practice Monday at 2 p.m.

"There's no way we could have practiced today anyway," Flanagan said. "I'm pretty sure we can get back on track tomorrow."

That's all for now. Check out Monday's Tribune for more women's basketball news.
