Now the UTEP women's basketball team will try something completely different.
For the first time since this six-game losing streak began three weeks ago, the longest losing skid since Keitha Adams' first year with the program in 2001-02, UTEP goes into a game as a true favorite.
They play Florida Atlantic Thursday, a team nursing its 15-game losing streak, a run that included a one-point home loss at the buzzer to UTEP a month ago. Though this may not carry quite the significance of Saturday's game with Florida International, which is almost a play-in for the Conference USA tournament, this is about building some confidence and giving the Miners a much-needed break from being on the wrong end of the scoreboard.
