Katie Duncan has experienced a lot since she first picked up a basketball at age 4.

She鈥檚 yet to experience playing home games in the Pit.

Duncan, a 5-foot-8 guard from Perth, Australia just passed the two-week mark as a member of the University of New Mexico women鈥檚 basketball team. She admits to still  having much to learn about UNM and first-year coach Amy Eagan鈥檚 system, but Duncan knows how to adapt on the fly.

Since graduating high school, she鈥檚 held down a full-time job, played (albeit sparingly) in an Australian women鈥檚 league, spent two successful seasons at Kansas鈥� Hutchinson Community College and chose UNM from a lengthy list of Division I suitors.

Duncan鈥檚 services were in demand after she averaged 13.2 points, 3.7 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 2.4 steals as a sophomore last season. She helped the Blue Dragons advance to the NJCAA Tournament quarterfinals and established herself as a legitimate inside-outside scorer.

She made a recruiting visit to Albuquerque in May, decided to become a Lobo, departed for a trip home to Australia then returned to Albuquerque to join her new team for summer practice.

鈥淚t鈥檚 been a different experience,鈥� Duncan said of her first impressions. "鈥淚 was in JUCO my last two years in Kansas 鈥� so purely flat. Things are completely different here in terms of scenery, but the people are amazing. From coaches to teammates to just the public, people have been lovely. The community here is something that shines out to me.鈥�

Perth connection

Duncan did her best to brush up on UNM after receiving phone calls and a scholarship offer from Eagan. She already had some familiarity with the school thanks to a previous successful Perth-Albuquerque basketball connection.

鈥淚 knew about Luc Longley,鈥� Duncan said of the former Lobo star who won three NBA championships with the Chicago Bulls. 鈥淗e's super well-known back in Perth and I kind of followed his path. That鈥檚 how I knew about the community here and how good the fans are. I don鈥檛 personally know Luc Longley, but he鈥檚 a great basketballer and he鈥檚 from my hometown, so ...鈥�

Duncan鈥檚 game, of course, is nothing like that of the 7-foot-2 Longley, but Eagan believes the junior鈥檚 diversity can make her a difference-maker for the Lobos.

鈥淪he has a high skill level and her ability to make decisions off the dribble can really elevate us,鈥� Eagan said. 鈥淜atie can really shoot, too, so I definitely think she can be a scorer within our offense. She takes well to coaching and brings a lot of intensity every day. She鈥檚 a good fit for us.鈥�

Unusual path

Duncan points to experience as a particular strength. Encouraged by her parents, she competed in numerous sports starting as a 4-year-old.

鈥淟ittle me running around not knowing what was going on,鈥� she recalled with a laugh.

After trimming her list of sports to basketball and swimming as a teen, Duncan decided to go with what she loved.

鈥淚 just decided basketball was what I looked forward to every single day,鈥� she said. 鈥淭his is like my escape from whatever else is happening. This is my escape.鈥�

Still, Duncan did not initially see herself playing college ball in the 近距离内射合集 States. After high school, she opted for a full-time, non-basketball job while trying her dominant left hand in an Australian women鈥檚 league.

鈥淚 took a gap year and was playing what鈥檚 considered a pro league in Australia,鈥� Duncan said, 鈥渂ut I was a real rookie. I found out what the bench felt like, let鈥檚 put it that way.鈥�

Duncan remained 鈥減retty set鈥� on simply staying in the work force until she made a trip to Australia鈥漵 eastern coast and started receiving advice, including from an agent.

鈥淪he said, 鈥楰atie, you have to go to college,鈥欌�� Duncan recalled. 鈥溾�榊ou have to get that experience. It will just level you up.鈥� So I said okay and we started getting some film out there.鈥�

Willing worker

Duncan received scholarship offers from some several small American programs and chose Hutchinson largely because it 鈥渇elt right.鈥� She was part of a Blue Dragons team that went 58-12 over two seasons and made back-to-back NJCAA Tournament runs.

The experience, Duncan believes, helped prepare her for success at UNM.

鈥淓very place is going to be different,鈥� she said, 鈥渂ut I do think in terms of hard work, tough love and learning how to take constructive criticism, playing at Hutch really helped to prepare me. I'm grateful for that.鈥�

Now Duncan鈥檚 focus has turned to achieving success with New Mexico. She enjoyed seeing several hundred fans turn out for a recent open practice in the Pit and said she鈥檒l gladly accept any role that helps the Lobos win.

鈥淚 just want to be good teammate,鈥� she said. 鈥淭hat's No. 1 for me. Scoring points is a plus-one but that鈥檚 not the reason I鈥檓 here. I鈥檓 here to develop as a player, develop as a person and make new friendships. And from the way things are looking, no one seems to be selfish on this team. It鈥檚 more like, 鈥榣et鈥檚 get the team a bucket, not worry about getting myself a bucket,鈥� and I love that.鈥�

SCHEDULE NOTES: UNM鈥檚 non-conference schedule has not yet been released and Eagan said she is still waiting on a few game contracts to be finalized. Several games have been announced, however, and the Lobos will enjoy a considerable amount of home cooking in 2026-27.

UNM will host Colorado and Arizona to complete home-and-home contracts and will begin new series at home against Loyola Marymount, Portland and Seattle. New Mexico State also visits the Pit for a single matchup next season. UNM will play just two non-conference road games 鈥� at BYU and Fresno State 鈥� and will not participate in a non-conference tournament.

The Mountain West schedule will shrink from 20 games to 18 in 2026-27. The revamped 10-team league format will feature a balanced schedule with home and away games against all opponents. The MWC has not yet released regular-season or tournament schedules for basketball.
