The UTEP-Western Illinois first round matchup of The Basketball Classic postseason tournament has been pushed from a Tuesday tip to a Saturday afternoon contest due to travel issues within WIU.

UTEP is set to host Western Illinois of the Summit League on Tuesday, March 15, at 5 p.m.

Following internal deliberation, the UTEP men's basketball team has accepted a bid to join The Basketball Classic postseason tournament, and the Miners will lace up their sneakers this Tuesday for a 5 p.m. tip against an opponent to be determined.

UTEP won 19 games with head coach Joe Golding during his first season with the program, but the future of Miner basketball could go in different directions.

The men's basketball team completed a sweep of the Florida schools in Conference USA with a 79-68 win over Florida International to cap off their fifth consecutive win.

The Miners went on to out-score Old Dominion 15-7 in overtime, including a 5-0 run in the first three minutes, to steal the road win, 78-70

UAB (11-3) thrashed a short-handed UTEP squad, 75-62, in Bartow arena.

Time for the third week of UTEP basketball, as the men's squad faces two challenging tests at home as part of the Cerebros Sports Golden Turkey Classic.

In a key non-conference matchup early into the season, UTEP went on the road and picked up a solid 73-64 win over Pacific on Friday evening.

In a feel-good victory, the UTEP men’s basketball squad dominated Northern New Mexico College (NAIA) 88-53 on Tuesday night at the Haskins Center.

The UTEP men's basketball squad will tip-off their second week of non-conference play, as they host Northern New Mexico College on Tuesday before heading to Pacific on Friday.

For the first time in nearly two years, the Battle of I-10 will tip-off Saturday in an early season battle between the Miners (1-0) and Aggies (1-0).
