Miners roar past TCU into WNIT quarterfinals

For 11 scary minutes Thursday night, a red-hot TCU team looked as though it might run the UTEP women's basketball team right out of the Don Haskins Center in the third round of the WNIT.

There were two groups of people who had no intention of letting that happen: the Miner players and 7,024 screaming fans.

Down 29-17, UTEP started running, the crowd got going and it all came together in a 29-5 run that led to a 79-71 victory. That means they can all do it again in four days when the Pac-12's Oregon comes to town for Monday's quarterfinals.
