The UTEP women's basketball team won't have an uglier victory than its 68-64 overtime victory against UAB on Saturday, and it's hard to see how they could earn one with more heart.
Mired in a terrible shooting night, down seven at the mid-point of the fourth quarter after going through a stretch where they made two-of-19 shots, UTEP simply willed its way to its seventh consecutive victory.
In improving to 9-3 in Conference USA, UTEP now has its longest win streak since the 2015-16 WNIT quarterfinalist season.
Quoting the coach
"This team doesn't want to lose," Baker said after UTEP tied the game in the final 10 seconds of regulation and won it by scoring the final six points of overtime.
