Much like the El Paso weather can swing from hot to cold at a moment’s notice, the UTEP women’s basketball team saw their shooting percentage swing all over the chart on Thursday night. The inconsistency would eventually lead to a 67-59 loss to the rival New Mexico State Aggies in the latest rendition of the Battle of I-10.
The Miners were cold to begin the game – if cold is even the word. It took until the 2:20 mark of the first quarter for freshman forward Zuzanna Puc to score the first basket of the game for the home team.
