Louisiana Tech routs turnover-prone UTEP women, runs Miner losing streak to four

The UTEP women's basketball team has a lot of things to fix as its losing streak hit four in a 77-60 home loss to Louisiana Tech on Thursday night, but there is one obvious place to start — turnovers.

The Miners' win percentage will approach zero when it turns the ball over 33 times.

There were other problems, starting with erratic defense that led to Louisiana Tech's 51-percent shooting night and Keiunna Walker's 32 points, and going minus-6 on the boards, but the giveaways is where the story of another tough game begins to be told.

Quoting the team

"It's hard to win any game when you have that many turnovers," coach Kevin Baker said after his team fell to 5-9 in C-USA play.
