Who is Western Kentucky

UTEP knows this answer a little too well. On the heels of their upset of then-No. 21 Middle Tennessee last month, the Miners were ahead of second-place Western by 19 points to start the final quarter before failing to make a field goal and turning the ball over 10 times in the fourth and losing 77-75.
