This got out of control quickly.

 

Last media timeout of the half. Did you blink? If so, you probably missed UTEP's 12-6 run in a span of 2 minutes. 43-28 Miners lead.

Adonis Filer nets three straight FGs, the last two being back-to-back threes. Cylla is the only other Owl to score this half. Filer now leads all scorers with 16 points. If he has the hot hand, keep giving him the ball!
