For the second straight game, the UTEP women's basketball team just missed pulling what might have been the biggest upset in its history.

Barely.

A season that a week ago seemed doomed by injuries is now cursed by snakebit losses. The latest saw Western Kentucky come from behind in the final 10 seconds, making a string of plays down the stretch to escape with a 64-61 victory against seven-player UTEP.
