southern miss

The Miners will enter Saturday's road C-USA opener against Southern Miss, vying for a 5-1 start for the first time in 11 years.

One of the consistent issues for the UTEP men's basketball program in the past decade has been their inconsistent play in Conference USA.

Less than 24 hours after the Miners suffered a meltdown in the final minutes, losing 74-66 (OT) in their C-USA opener, the team found redemption by dominating the Golden Eagles, 77-62, on Saturday and splitting the series.

Saturday's contest between UTEP and Southern Miss has been postponed after the Golden Eagles experienced an increase in COVID-19 cases, per a release.

UTEP's kryptonite has proven to be Southern Miss who defeated the Miners 64-56 to advance to the semi finals of the Conference USA Tournament and will face Louisiana Tech.

Ah, the pop of the glove, the "tink" of the bat...That's right, it's college baseball season, too! I generally prefer the college game over the pros in many sports; and while MLB has its own magic because of its tradition, college baseball can be a lot of fun. You'd never see whole teams of Major Leaguers doing stuff like Ole Miss and Southern Miss did during a rain delay...
