UTEP’s senior leader Sparkle Taylor refused for her team to lose their fifth straight game with her career-best 34 points, but her efforts were not enough as the Miners fell 76-69 to North Texas on Thursday.
The bleeding for UTEP (6-19, 3-10 C-USA) continues weeks away from the conference tournament, which is now in jeopardy for the Miners. Head coach of UTEP Keitha Adams and her unit hold the tiebreaker for the last spot in the league by what seems like a hair. In games that are all must-wins, UTEP did not execute as they expected to against the Mean Green.
