UTEP's Jordan Lathan began the week questionable with a knee injury.
He ended it an accidental hero of almost unfathomable proportions when his 3-pointer at the buzzer completed a 96-foot scramble in the final 0.5 second to give the Miners a heart-stopping 65-64 victory.
Rice appeared to win the game when Owl reserve Trey Murphy III hit a 3-pointer with 0.6 seconds left that undid Lathan's fadeaway 16-footer with 14 seconds left, and the clock did hit 0.0 moments later when Rice swatted away an attempted inbounds.
A review set the clock back to 0.
