Slow-starting UTEP women's basketball team falls to UAB

UTEP players reflect on the death of Kobe Bryant Wochit

The UTEP women's basketball team's top goal at UAB on Saturday was to get off to a better start to give themselves a chance late.

Their failure to do that and the 63-51 loss that ensued showed exactly why that was the concern.

The Miners were 1-of-12 from the field in the first quarter when they fell behind 16-4, they eventually trailed 24-7 and despite a rally within eight in the final four minutes, the Miners came up short.
