EL PASO, Texas -- Dominic Artis drilled a key 3-pointer and hit a jump shot as time expired in the second overtime to give UTEP its first conference win, an 88-87 victory over Florida International on Thursday night.

Trailing 87-83, Artis knocked down a trey with 34 seconds left, but missed a 3-point shot with six seconds remaining.

The shot was reviewed before Artis was awarded the game winner.
