The UTEP women's basketball team has been excellent all season at playing from behind, but it's unquestionably a precarious way to live.

In a 65-62 loss to a surging Louisiana Tech team, the Miners fell off that cliff.

The Miners played hard and at times they played well, but they were running uphill after a 16-2 Lady Techster run that started in the final moments of the first half, and UTEP never could get over the top.
