Florida Atlantic men 61, UTEP 48 Bret Bloomquist, El Paso Times
The UTEP men's basketball team is starting to run out of time in its chase for the Conference USA basketball tournament, but it can buy a little time Saturday night against Florida International.
The Miners' losing streak is now at three, they are two games back of 12th place with six to play and their offense is mired in a slump that has stretched over most of the season, but a win against a Panther team in the bottom half of the league standings could start a late push.
