Start of UTEP game against North Texas Thursday night Rudy Gutierrez / El Paso Times
UTEP walked out of the Convocation Center Saturday night in San Antonio, walking with those saddest of words — what might have been.
The Miners, just like UTSA, sauntered into Saturday night's game in desperate, desperate need of a win.
And they had it. Well, that had it for a half, had it for a portion of the second half, had it for almost 39 minutes.
But the game is 40 minutes.
UTSA got a steal and a layup from talented freshman Jhivvan Jackson to break Miner hearts and lead the Roadrunners to a 65-61 victory Saturday night in front of 2,210 fans.
